Move

The apartment's location is ideal for enjoying Old Quebec without a car. With an exceptional Walk Score of 99, almost all attractions, restaurants, museums, and services are within walking distance in just minutes.

Gare du Palais, which connects Quebec City to Montreal and several other destinations, is also within walking distance, as is the ferry to Lévis. For public transportation, bus route 11 runs directly through Old Quebec City. The Place d'Youville terminal, an 11-minute walk away, provides access to the city's main lines, including Métrobus 800, 801, and 807, which provide quick access to other parts of Quebec City.

In season (May to October), the àVélo bike-sharing service offers a station just a 6-minute walk (400 m) away, at Montmorency Park, ideal for exploring the city on two wheels. Several other stations are also located around Old Quebec, making it easy to get to the Samuel-De Champlain Promenade or the bike path leading to Montmorency Falls.

If you have a car, be aware that street parking is limited and often busy during the summer. The easiest options are the paid underground parking lots located under City Hall, at Château Frontenac, and at Place d'Youville. However, given the location, it's generally more convenient and pleasant to stay without a vehicle.

Other information to note

We only accept stays of 31 nights or more.

The apartment occupies the top two floors of the building. Access is by stairs only. There are several flights of stairs between the common entrance and the terrace. If this is an inconvenience, this apartment is probably not suitable.

The interior of the building reflects its period character. The floors have slopes typical of older buildings and may creak slightly.

Wooden windows, although in good condition, are sometimes more difficult to open and close, without however affecting comfort.

As in any heritage building, soundproofing is partial. It is sometimes possible to hear sounds coming from the apartment below. In summer, with the windows open, you can also hear the bustle of the street, which contributes to the lively atmosphere of Old Quebec.

Heating is central hot water and there is no thermostat in the accommodation. The temperature can vary from one room to another: some are naturally warmer, others cooler.

There is no dedicated parking for the apartment. Street parking is limited and often busy during the summer. Several paid underground parking lots are located nearby, including under City Hall, at Château Frontenac, and at Place d'Youville.

To make your arrival more comfortable, a basic inventory of supplies is already in place: toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, laundry detergent and fabric softener, garbage bags, dish soap, dishwasher pods, cleaning products, hand soap, body wash, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, cooking oil, salt, pepper, and a few basic spices. For mid-term stays, we follow a chain of kindness: each guest replaces what they use so the next one finds the same level of supplies. These items are there to make your arrival easier and to maintain everyone’s comfort.

The cleaning fee covers cleaning after your departure only. You are responsible for keeping the apartment clean and in good condition during your stay. If you require cleaning service during your stay, an additional fee will apply.
