Our trip would not have been the same without Mario's suggestions on great eats and walking areas off the beaten path to experience more of the local life. We also enjoyed a very clean space and private bathroom during our stay--pretty much the whole floor to ourselves. Parking on his driveway or on the street was never a problem and we always felt secured that our car would remain safe at night. It was a lovely neighborhood. And while the house is not near public transportation or the old, touristy part of Quebec City, those places were very easy and short drive. Parking was also fairly easy downtown between the five hour parking rates and garages. Staying at Mario's place and all of his excellent tips was a great decision for this portion of our road trip. Would definitely stay here again!
