Close to everything but enough away that you feel like you are a resident of this magical place. Great Wi-Fi is the icing on the cake! Comfortable elegance!

Our hosts were very welcoming and thoughtful. The accommodation was excellent. Such a cozy and well appointed home. We celebrated family Christmas there with our adult children, reuniting the family as we live in Australia with one son in Vancouver. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you

We loved our stay at Maison Emile! Was exactly as described and so quaint and clean and convenient both inside and out. Beds were super comfortable so we slept great. Loved the convenience of being able to walk 100m to shops restaurants boulangerie and all the sights. Kitchen was very well equipped and much appreciated the wine from James and Eric and was great to meet James to get more info on the history of this amazing property! Will definitely stay again the next time we come to Quebec!

I've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and this is one of my favorites. The House was built in the 1760's and has all the charm you would expect. But, it has also been modernized so you have a modern kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable beds, good lighting, etc. It is one block off of St. Jean which is a very fun shopping and restaurant area. It is a short walk to Chateau Frontenac and the Plains of Abraham, both spectacular. Old Town is a little piece of Paris. We really loved it and highly recommend this rental.
Typical architecture in Old Town, Quebec City.
