Marie-Lou's place is situated on a main street adjacent to several small restaurants in the arts district, about 7-8 minutes walk from the Musee national des beaux-arts due Quebec (fantastic for art lovers) and 25-30 minutes walk from La Citadelle (about the same by bus #11). The location is excellent, but has typical street noise for such a setting. The apartment has basics like coffee/tea, salt/pepper, oil/vinegar, sugar and all cooking and serving ware, plus washer/dryer. The Metro supermarket around the corner has a fine selection, as do the bakery and wine stores on the next block. Marie-Lou's apartment has just been updated with fresh paint and new furniture, bathroom and appliances. You should expect the apartment to be very clean and comfortable and the location very convenient. Marie-Lou responded quickly to my questions and we enjoyed staying in her apartment.
