We knew withing the first 5 min at Le Widor that we were in a very special place! Sophie has transformed this historic home into a beautiful space that captures the charm of the old, while incorporating modern comforts. Our room was comfortable and spacious, super comfortable bed & shower, and AC was quite welcome! Everything is sparkling clean, and as-advertised! Perfect location, 5 -10 min walk to groceries, restaurants, park, & art museum, and 25 min walk to Old Quebec City (a couple times we planned to take the bus back from Old Quebec and bought a Le Bus (blue) ticket at the convenience store on Cartier St around the corner from Le Widor - only about $3-4 per person, one-way - bus system was quite easy and the #11 bus goes all the way to Old Quebec, there is a stop right by Le Widor). There are so many great restaurants, but Don Vegan in Old Quebec was our fav. There is a public parking lot just across the street - we may use this on a future trip if we happen to drive. The neighborhood was clean, felt safe, people were friendly. It seems most locals appreciate when English speaking visitors make an attempt to speak French, but many people are bi-lingual, so finding someone to speak English is not an issue. The complimentary coffee and tea in the mornings was delicious. We did not opt for the breakfast, but it looked delicious, fruit was fresh and baked goods & quiche were home-made! Beautiful little deck off of the kitchen was delightful for sipping our coffee in the mornings (there is also a lovely backyard space for sitting, which even includes a grill!). Having full kitchen access was perfect for our needs. Sophie's space is mindful of environmental needs and encourages recycling, composting, and stocks the shower/bathroom with environmentally responsible products. Sophie's staff are professional and lovely, all of them give the same warm and genuine customer service that Sophie does herself. Sophie is the perfect hostess, she was accessible and helped us with whatever little thing we needed. Additionally, she has thought of so many little comforts around the home and in the rooms that make the difference between a "good" place and a "great" one! There are lots of places to stay in the area, but we already know there is only one for us! - We'll be coming back to Le Widor!
