A-Ok describes this place just fine. The location is excellent for Quebec City sightseeing(you don’t really need to be inside the walls to access Vieux Quebec easily), and it is clean and cute enough. It is really more like a small hotel than a typical B&B, which may or may not be what you are looking for. I still don’t know anyone’s names, since we arrived after hours in the evening(letting ourselves in), and when we arrived at breakfast in the morning, no one cared to introduce themselves. We mentioned who we were, and that Paul(whom I had contacted by email) had said that a vegan breakfast could be prepared for us. I said this in French, explaining as best as I could that we were«vegetalien,» and what this means, repeating it on subsequent mornings. Nonetheless, the only food I am really sure was vegan was the fruit. Every day, we were served pre-wrapped packets of real cheese, which made us wonder if the crepes we were told were made without eggs, and with«olive oil,» were really vegan. This was stressful because we didn’t want to seem ungrateful for the supposedly«vegan» breakfasts, but we also didn’t want to eat them if they really weren’t. We would much rather have been told that they don’t do vegan, but that we’d be welcome to stop by for coffee and fruit, and get a more complete breakfast on our own afterward. Overall, the place is fine, the only real problem being the noise level from the street, which is only solved by running the window air conditioner as white noise; I don’t know what might be done when it is too cold to run the air conditioner. We couldn’t have slept with the noise level that existed before we turned it on. The free access to a computer near the breakfast room was a nice bonus, as was the free parking.

The breakfast was excellent and is set up more like a café with individual tables with linens, rather than the typical cramped family style breakfast offered at many b&b’s. Our room was large and clean with an exposed brick wall interior. The location is very central on a lovely street with restaurants right outside the door. Also very close to Parc des Champs de Bataille.
