This is a great find, and we truly enjoyed our stay here! I would agree with other reviews to say that it is an area in transition, but at no time whatsoever did we feel unsafe (even returning pretty late on our first night)! There are great restaurants and stores that are easily within a couple of minutes walking distance. It is a pretty good hike to the Old City — get ready for lots of uphill and upstairs excursions! But truly…for us, this was absolutely not a problem. While we did not use the kitchen during our stay, I do want to give them kudos for the bathroom and laundry amenities. Everything you need is there. The AC worked wonderfully, shower pressure was great, and the sleeping accommodations were very comfortable. My son slept on the sleeper couch & said it suited him well (he loves a firm mattress). I got the bedroom & agree with another person that the bed is VERY comfortable! Honestly…we didn’t want to leave. Quebec City is so beautiful & there is so much to do in the area. Being in comfortable accommodations only makes the visit better!
