The place is exactly as described. It is a 20 min walk to Old Quebec and this usually doesn't bother me. However, you walk a lot in Old Quebec already and there are a lot of stairs, so this makes a difference in the end of the day and I would recommend using public transport sometimes or staying closer to Old Quebec. The localization is great for the price though. The host also left a very helpful note on the fridge with good restaurants to visit and supermarkets in the surroundings.
