I did not read enough before getting to this place and was very surprised when I realized we spent a night in the historical building! It is pretty far from Quebec's old city center, and there is no malls or stores, or other busy places around. But it was exactly what I love for having rest: a very beautiful, peaceful, and clean place, a very old but still cozy and nice historical building, a beautiful garden with natural surroundings. The price is reasonable. I can highly recommend! The only thing to remember: bring your own food and dishes. There is a kitchen with a coffee machine, a kettle, and a microwave, but no food and no stores around.

The grounds, picturesque and super-charming, are what we enjoyed the most. Some of the outside chairs are broken, so watch out when using them. The portable AC in our room is loud. Bring ear plugs! (But happy to have AC.) Communal fridges are full; latecomers may not find room in them. The kitchen functions but needs a redo as it's quite worn. Room is serviceable but amenities are minimal. If you're not too fussy, this property will do for one or two nights.

My teen daughter and I had a wonderful stay in the apartment! It was nice to have our own spacious area as well as a kitchen to prepare food so we don't hang to eat out every meal. The property is beautiful and a great spot for exploring the island and Quebec City. The only suggestion I would make to the owner would be to keep a light on the apartment when new forests come as it was hard to find in the dark, and to invest in a larger comfy sofa so guests can relax and talk at the end of a long day instead of needing to just go to bed.

There was another group who were loud and clearly unwell, a lot of coughing in the common rooms which made us uncomfortable staying those areas.

Nous avons apprécié l’autonomie pour accéder à notre chambre, le calme de l’endroit et l’aspect historique de l’établissement. Le lit était relativement confortable. Par contre, au 2e étage, il faisait incroyablement chaud et la climatisation était terriblement bruyante. La salle de bain qui devait être privée était partagée, très petite et aucunement aérée. Nous n’aurions pas voulu passer une 2e nuit dans cette chambre à aussi mal dormir. Nous ne recommanderons pas cet endroit.

Really sorry to post this, but I did not get the type of room I booked and paid for. There was no staff on site when I arrived, the doors were locked and the property did not respond to my multiple attempts to contact them. The property also didn't respond to Expedia's attempts to contact them for me. I was literally locked out and planned to sleep in my car. I was eventually let in by another guest. The property is amazing and I loved it. I would stay there again if I knew staff would be available and if they refunded the difference between the type of room I booked and paid for (ensuite) and the type I got (shared). But the staff were missing, they still haven't contacted me and I didn't get what I paid for.

No breakfast, coffee cost $2/cup, uncomfortable mattress, A/C very noisy and window couldn’t open, no Kleenex anywhere, toilet seat was broken, no staff anywhere. No hooks to hang things, no hand towel, pillows were horrible. We are seniors and the path to the front door was treacherous with rocks that you could trip on. The bathtub was slippery and no handles. There was no place to get breakfast, except a small place that only opened between 9:30 & 10 and they only served a panini. One would think they could offer free coffee and a muffin, but no-nothing. Kindness goes a long way.
