Photos and Description of the Quebec City vacation condo rental
1 BR Condo (sleeps 2-4)

As one of our guests once said about this condo, 'charming' is an understatement! Very cozy, spacious and nicely furnished loft, about 1,000 sq.ft. within the city walls. Fully equipped kitchen, washer & dryer. Lots of character with stone and brick walls, original pine floors, cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, on third and top floor of building. Queen size sofa bed in living room. Bedroom on mezzanine with queen size bed, walk-in closet, computer desk and chair. Cable and hi-speed wireless Internet. This natural light-filled corner unit with direct view on the Laurentians, Esplanade Park and the National Assembly is only steps away from the Plains of Abraham and close to everything.

Comme le disait une cliente : 'charmant', c'est bien peu dire pour décrire ce ravissant appartement. Magnifique et spacieux appartement d'environ 90 mètres carrés (1 000 pieds carrés) sur deux étages, au cachet authentique, à l’intérieur des murs du Vieux-Québec. Cuisine tout équipée, lave-linge et sèche-linge. Murs de pierre et de brique, planchers en pin d’origine, plafond cathédrale, poutres apparentes sous les combles, au troisième et dernier étage de l'immeuble. Divan-lit grande taille au salon. Chambre en mezzanine avec grand lit, walk-in, table et fauteuil d’ordinateur. Câble et Internet sans fil. Cette unité en coin lumineuse offre une vue sur les Laurentides, le parc de l’Esplanade et l’Assemblée nationale. Elle est située à quelques pas des Plaines d’Abraham et à proximité de tout.

Ce bâtiment patrimonial a été construit en 1834-1835 pour un riche marchand du nom de Henry Atkinson. Le parement extérieur est en grès de Sillery-Cap-Rouge, matériau employé pour ériger une partie des fortifications de la ville de Québec ainsi que les murs de la Citadelle et qui a servi à la réfection de la porte Saint-Jean en 1938.

About Property Owner

We have owned this magnificent property for three years. Acquiring it was no less than a dream come true. Our condo is located in a heritage building that dates back to 1834-35, when it was built for a wealthy merchant by the name of Henry Atkinson. The exterior is made of the Sillery-Cap-Rouge sandstone that now forms part of the Québec fortifications and the walls of the Citadel and that was used to restore the Saint-Jean Gate in 1938.

Property Owner purchased this condo in 2010
Why Property Owner chose Quebec City

We love spending time in Québec City for everything it has to offer. The property is very comfortable, charming and the location couldn't be better. Several times a year we travel to Québec City to enjoy the place and the surroundings. You too will think it is worth the trip. We look forward to welcoming you there. Until then, please check out the Reviews section for the many positive comments we received from our guests over the last three years.

What makes this condo unique

Being just steps to everything while enjoying the privacy of this property overlooking L'Esplanade Park is something you will truly value. And who wouldn't like waking up to the sound of horses' hooves on the cobblestone, or seeing a groundhog during a morning walk on the Plains of Abraham just around the corner! In addition, those who like to stay connected while getting a breath of fresh air will be happy to know that there are wi-fi hot spots for free Internet access in multiple sectors of the Plains of Abraham.

Notes: The location couldn't be better. Wander in the streets of Old Québec and discover the fortifications, the illustrious Château Frontenac, the famous Plains of Abraham and Place-Royale. In the green belt surrounding the city, the impressive Montmorency Falls and peaceful Île d’Orléans are other scenic attractions that you may want to visit. Outdoor activities abound in the region of Quebec and include hiking, alpine skiing, river sports, mountain climbing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and fauna observation. The area has several parks which make perfect playgrounds for outdoor enthusiasts. In winter, everything becomes enchanted and the snowy Old Québec looks like fairyland! Open the old pupil desk in the living room and dig out an abundance of maps and guidebooks to help you get started on all the fun things to do during your stay.

Our stay in Quebec City

5 of 5
Submitted: November 16, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
This was our first visit to Quebec City. We were here to visit our daughter who is here for the year. The apartment was perfect, everything we needed to feel at home. Location couldn't have been better with proximity to attractions, shopping and out of city access. Despite the cold weather outside, the apartment was always warm and welcoming. We would have absolutely no reservation about recommending this as a place to stay.

Saying goodbye to Québec

Submitted: November 13, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Thank you Odette for opening your absolutely lovely condo to guests such as us. We are very much enjoying our stay in your beautiful condo. Everything is perfection... decor, accoutrements, location, and of course the views from each window! And each day of exploring Quebec brings new delights... This ‘home away from home’ is perfect. Our time here was full of new experiences and new tastes. We loved walking the cobblestone streets, and exploring the many wonderful ancient buildings. We toured the National Assembly, Museum of Beaux-Arts, the Museum of Civilization, we walked the wall and the Governor’s Promenade almost every day, we biked along the St. Lawrence and ferried across to the Levis bike path, always stopping to take in the beautiful views. We heard the wonderful Swingle Singers at Palais Montcalm and attended a cello recital at the Conservatory of Music. And tastes! Rabbit Pie and Planked Salmon at Lapin Sauté, Duck Confit at L’Entrecote, Venison Tartare at Panache, crepes at Le Billig, Salmon Coulibiac and pheasant at Aux Anciens Canadiens, Poutine [why not!] at Chez Victor, gourmet dinners at Chez Boulay and Pain Béni, luncheon at the Frontenac and the Parliament and so much more!!

Comfortable Stay

3 of 5
Submitted: October 15, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
The apartment was very comfortable but had a few changes in the decor. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The apartment and the building were very clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything thing you need to cook, even spices! The location was wonderful with a view of the horse carriages and a green area and Parliament. Odette was very helpful to address any questions. We were in between Parliament and the Hotel Frontenac which provided lovely walks during the day or night. The stairs were be a bit of a problem at night as the bathroom is downstairs and as seen in the photo, no handrail.

Owner's Response: When Beverly arrived with her husband and saw the place, here's what she said: "This is even nicer than in the pictures!" The few changes we made do make the place even more attractive.
