We (couple in late 40s and parents in mid-70s) were pleasantly surprised with the size, cleanliness and available amenities at 38 Rue de Jardins #3. Rooms were large, beds and linens great quality and comfort, basic materials supplied like dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, salt/pepper/tea, tissues and toilet paper. Perfect location for exploring Quebec on foot. Epicerie (small grocery) right next door has basic needs including milk, eggs, bread, some fruit, canned goods, cheeses, unbelievably decadent pastries, wine, beer and a deli. Apartment has rolodex of area restaurants. Telephone, TV, dishwasher, coffee/tea maker, toaster, W/D all appliances new and in good working order. Apartment 2 flights up, not hard even with bags. Terrace (a rear wooden deck with railings, 4 chairs and 2 small tables) that opens off kitchen is lovely. (You can see it on Google Earth) Fun watching girls arriving and leaving Ursuline school just below. Perfect for AM coffee or afternoon wine and cheese. Last day floor above (4th) occupied and we could hear footsteps but not bad and not early/late. Stayed 9/15-19/2009, with temperate weather so did not use air or heat. Opening windows allowed for nice cross breeze. Kitchen had nice selection of pots and pans and utensils. Plates, bowls, coffee mugs and silverware very good. Only 4 wine and 4 beverage glasses provided. Need a few more especially if using dishwasher. Stove/range, refrigerator and dishwasher were near perfect, clean and functioning. Even had ice cube trays! Simple furniture, nice. Beds exceptionally comfortable. Windows in every room and all opened. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Parking under City Hall complex 2 blocks away at $14/day. We are afraid to recommend this to our friends as they may beat us to rebooking. We plan to stay here agin if we can and would recommend it to anyone. Best for: 4 people but 6 could do it, must not mind 2 flights stairs, those who appreciate good, clean, simple amenities, those looking for perfect location at reasonable price. Thank you Jean-Marc and Christianne. Merci et bon chance.
