This second-floor apartment is perfect!
I stayed in the apartment during the early fall for 1 month. It was really a life experience for me and was my first stop as a digital nomad. The wifi is 100mps. So, it was perfect for work. Gisele is the actual owner of the house and she is on the first floor. She is super nice and very helpful. She was very quiet.
Highlights of the apartment are:
1) Quebec People. You do not need to speak French to get around. But it helps if you start with it. I always said Bonjour. And was answered in French.
2) within walking distance of a bakery(Boulangerie Louis Marchand et Compagnie) that makes the best croissants and bread
3) within walking distance of nice restaurants(L'Affaire est Ketchup, Nina's, La Boîte à pain, Boulangerie Pâtisserie Le Croquembouche(Nice pastries and sandwiches), Camellia Sinensis Tea House, Cafe Pekoe (tea and pastries)
4) Less than a block from Parc Victoria which borders St. Charles. There are walking, running paths, and biking paths along the river. It was breathtaking running and looking at the fall foliage. The bike path will take you to Old Quebec. You can get an electric bike at the entrance of the parc nearest the apartment.
5) Less than ten minutes to get onto a major highway that will take you to the many National Parks. I really enjoyed Cap tourmente, Parc National Jacques - Cartier(Must pay entrance fee online before you go), Vallee Bras-du-Nord(need to pay entrance fee online before you go). I spent every weekend hiking. It was amazing.
6) Less than 3 minutes' walk to the bus. The bus is the best way to get to Old Quebec. It is very efficient. You can buy the tickets through the RTC app.
7) The street the house is on is very quiet. Which is unexpected for a city.
I already miss Gisele and Quebec City!
