Paula's place is perfect for a budget stay in old Quebec City. The large apartment is clean; the bedroom large, quiet and comfortable (if you like a firm mattress, which we do); the shared bathroom was clean and well stocked; a pleasant continental breakfast of croissants, fruit, jams, yogurt and lattes was provided; and the location is simply perfect-in the middle between the upper and lower parts of the city. Travelers who can handle 2 flights of narrow stairs; 4 blocks of steep walking from the parking lot at the bottom of the hill; and a no shoes in the apartment rule (requiring a slick walk up and down a flight of stairs) will be rewarded with a great budget stay in a pricey city with a helpful host.
