We had a lovely 3-night stay at Le Widor. The home is charming and very clean, and breakfast was very tasty. The neighborhood is perfect - near the Plains of Abraham and close enough that we could walk to the Citadel and Old Quebec. It is a nice quiet residential neighborhood with many restaurants and shops within walking distance, located away from the touristy areas but still within walking distance (for us) of the local sites. Best of all is the proprietor, Sophie, who gave us a map and orientation when we checked in, and who is very warm and personable. We would happily stay here again if we come back to Quebec City.

Sophie has an excellent touch as she's renovated Le Widor's structure with modern comforts, which complement its 20th century character. The house is pricelessly located, outside of the Old City away from the crowds but just a 10 min walk from the walls, on the Grandes Alles Est. St. Jean and Cartier Streets, and the Plains of Abraham are steps away (we ran for exercise multiple times, to the track, the Citadel, and on many a tree-lined street)! If you don't know where you should eat lunch or dinner, Sophie has an exceptional list of many places, a couple of which we had the pleasure of enjoying. We did eat delicious, homemade 3-course breakfasts the three mornings we stayed with her, and although I loved them, next time I would challenge myself to try some of the other neighborhood offerings, just for a change. We also met another lovely couple while in the common dining room, and from that rich conversation (including a breakfast rec), we exchanged contact information for possibly crossing paths in the future. We were able to park our car in Sophie's garage for a daily fee, and we would definitely stay with her the next time we're in my favorite French Canadian city!
