We had a lovely Christmas stay in Marianne's apartment - it was cozy and welcoming especially given our very early morning arrival. The house was just right for 2 adults and 2 small children. The apartment was located in a convenient location, close enough to walk to the old town yet among the Quebec City locals so we didn't feel too touristy. The added bonus was the awesome delis along Rue St Jean, it felt like a little slice of Europe shopping for groceries!
