I had the pleasure of staying at the lovely apartment of France and Charles in Quebec City, Quebec. It was my first visit to Quebec and I met two friends there. Each of us arrived at different times and France and Charles made it effortless for the first person in our group to gain access.
The apartment was clean, warm, welcoming and spacious. It is an upstairs unit and there is a large closet where you can leave your winter boots and coats before entering. France and Charles provide a basket of maps plus a menu for the restaurant next door which was very kind since I did not arrive until quite late. There is also a market a short walk away. The kitchen was completely well equipped and there was even a washer and dryer available! There are two bedrooms and a pull-out sofa which was perfect for the night owl in our group. And make sure you look up in the kitchen ceiling to enjoy the skylight!
The location, in Old Quebec, makes it an easy uphill walk to the Citadel and the Fortification of Quebec and many eateries. The apartment is also easily accessible to public transportation, taxis and Ubers.
One thing I loved about the apartment was each bedroom had its own heater and could be controlled by individual thermostats. This could be a Canadian thing but in my bedroom I promptly turned it down and turned the fan on since I am one of the hotties. One of my roomies turned her heat up and EVERYONE WAS HAPPY.
One night the commode gave us a problem and although we had to call him rather late at night, Charles was quick to have someone repair it the next morning. THANK YOU! For me, quickly addressing any problems is the sign of a super-host. This was another example of the excellent communication from our hosts before and during our stay.
We are already considering a return trip to Quebec City and would love to stay at Frances and Charles's apartment again. If you are looking for a great place to stay that is safe, convenient and with ideal hosts, please book France and Charles's place.
