This was our first trip to Quebec City and we thought this studio was a great base to explore the city. We were able to walk anywhere we wanted in the city but it was also super easy to get out of town to explore the nature north of the city. Although it was close to things we were also surprised at how quiet it was. Didn't hear the neighbors at all and hardly any traffic noise. I was a little worried about us being able to park our big American car (CRV) in the parking lot but no problems there at all. Great studio and a great host! We are already planning our next trip back
