Upon first arrival after a long journey Maxim picked me up at the airport and that initial first greeting when travelling alone makes all the difference in the world. We stopped at a grocery store and I picked out ingredients to prepare a Thai meal. After arriving at his home where I was given a tour we prepared dinner in the kitchen with wine and local beer on hand. The open space and the very friendly kitchen area made for an experience easy to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Maxim is a wonderful host that will make anyone's stay the best option in Quebec City. Although he may not be located in the old city his neighbourhood is not a far walk from the tourist spots. His home is a unique stand alone character building with his craftsmanship with wood evident around the interior. You will feel so at home you will forget you are a tourist and you will leave making a friend.
