Maxim's place is a lovely cute house in a quiet neighbourhood of Quebec City. It's an easy walk or bus ride the Old City. There is a supermarket nearby and we didn't have any issues not speaking French in the area. The room is very nice, spacious and sunny. Maxim is very friendly and easy to talk to and made our stay memorable and enjoyable. He knows a lot about Quebec and its history and was happy to make recommendations about what to do and answer our questions about the area. We would definitely stay there again if we returned to Quebec!
