What do you think of St-Roch?
Parking is not the problem, it's the atmosphere created by drug addicts and homeless people.
Tourist wondering: Is Saint Roch safe?
Wife is planning a bachelorette party in Quebec City. Found an air bnb in the Saint Roch neighborhood that looks great but saw reviews on some website that said it is considered the sketchy part of town. Will a bachelorette party be alright there? Thanks

St Roch neighbourhood - unique shops and places to eat
I'm in Quebec City for the weekend. I'm staying outside of the main touristy area in St. Roch. Are there any must-see shops or restaurants that people would recommend to check out while in the area?
