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.

About the host
Hosted by James Moisan
I'm from the north shore of Quebec, along the St. Lawrence River. I am a native french-speaking Quebecer that also speaks English.
Why they chose this property
I love living in the historic section of Quebec (Vieux Quebec), it has so much charm and the neighborhood is very friendly and supportive. It's magical!
What makes this property unique
The house was built in 1752 by french marines and completely renovated in 2014. Louise Penny stayed here in 2009 to do research for her Bury Your Dead novel, and chose it as the setting for one of the characters in the book (Émile Comeau)!
