Guest Reviews
- craig (8/5): - I loved everything about this apartment; the location is perfectly situated next to the citadel, 5 minutes walk, where you are taken back in time. Additionally, only 5-minutes stroll to the rivers and shaded walkways. 10 minutes over the river, across an ancient bridge, you are in the town with many patisseries and traditional restaurants. Parking is superb, so no stress, ideal for when you want to drive to the vineyards and meander aimlessly, thinking only of wine and cheese. The apartment is cosy, with old oak beams in an open lounge, dining room and kitchen, ideal for a simple, relaxing evening indoors. Facilities are great with plenty of running hot water. Thank you Having lived in Asia for many years, I have become accustomed to using hand-held bidet sprays, therefore, the toilet experience was not good for me, however, I feel the same throughout the west. Install a bidet spray, they are the future.
- Belinda (10/5): Great host, fantastic apartment - Our host was a great communicator. The location was perfect, easy walk to everything. The apartment was great, the bed very comfortable
- Castelar (8/5): - La ubicación Los colchones
- Joanne (10/5): - Great location to visit both the citadel and the new town, excellent facilities. Hosts were fantastic, there was no corkscrew and one was provided within 10 minutes of me messaging. They gave us information about a local market that was really good. They couldn't have been kinder or more helpful Everything was fantastic
- Caroline (8/5): Séjour idéal au pied de la cité médiévale. - La grandeur des pièces, le confort et l’emplacement. Le stationnement et le quartier. Le dégât d’eau du congélateur en arrivant (problème électrique) et le drain bouché de la douche.
- Caroline (8/5): Great stay, highly recommend. -
- MA Allaire (9/5): - L'emplacement et le cachet. Le matelas et la literie. L'absence de climatiseur.
- Denis (10/5): Ottimo appartamento ai piedi della città vecchia - Bel appartamento ampio e luminoso con tutto il necessario si piedi della vecchia città … ottimale per far due passi notturni. Le spese di pulizia sono conteggiate a parte. Per la mia permanenza di 1 gg sono incise tanto sul prezzo. Capisco bene che si possano ammortizzare con un soggiorno più lungo. Le lenzuola erano pulite e profumate ma macchiate, consiglierei sostituzione! Comunque ci tornerei!
- Lolamp (6/5): Cómodo y bien ubicado sin grandes lujos - Está muy bien situado y puedes ir andando desde el apartamento a La cité de Carcassonne dando un paseo. Además las chicas te dan indicaciones perfectas y si no tienes aparcamiento en la puerta de la casa te proporcionan uno a 3 minutos andando Pequeños detalles que no quitan que el sitio esté bien. Tienes que dejar las sábanas sacadas, todo limpio y ordenado, que no está mal pero bueno. Además las almohadas son cojines grandes, muy blandos y además en mi caso olían un poco, y al quitarles las fundas como indicaron estaban algo sucios. Pero tampoco no es nada escandaloso, y el detalle que solo dejaron un pequeño botecito de champú, siendo 2 personas las que íbamos y no había jabón para las manos ya que el bote estaba vacío.
- Kerry (9/5): Fabulous. Would return! - It was beautiful, light and airy and in such a good location.
- Christine (8/5): Fantastic location, good value for money - Fantastic location close to the cité. Nearby épicerie which did coffee and croissants as well as fruit and other bits.
We appreciated being able to drop our bags ahead of the check in time and collection of the key was really easy. I got fast responses to any questions too. It feels as though they are cutting corners. There was only one toilet roll for 3 nights with two people- we ran out. The hairdryer cuts out after a few minutes. The pillows need washing. It would be nice to routinely provide soap in the bathroom.
This is such a great location and a lovely flat, it just felt as though a few details let it down unnecessarily.
- Martin (9/5): Modern apartment in heart of Carcassone - The apartment was simply outstanding. Spaceful bathroom with two sinks walk-in shower gave us the opportunity to get ready much faster each morning. On this note, it was also handy to find restroom (toilet) completely separated. The kitchen was fully equipped, and although we did not cook on our holiday, we found all the dishes and gadgets for our homemade breakfast. The living room was spaceful and comfortable, and the same both bedrooms.
What I would like to highlight the most was excellent communication with the owner via booking and perfect description where to find code, keys, parking, etc. Immediate response and answers to all questions. All perfect. Just two details: The AC was handy in hot summer, but my technical skills were on the level I needed to make it working. Maybe some simple guide could help. I obviously could ask, but it was not ideal in the late evening. The other comment is about the position of wondow in one of the bedrooms. The small street was surprisingly noisy overnight and also early morning, which prevented us from the plan to sleep with an open window. Again, it is nothing really important.
- Meredith (10/5): Really lovely location - It was an absolutely perfect location and such a classicly quaint apartment at the top of the building with lots of room. Being able to walk to the castle/fortress and see it from the window. Also there was a nice little market across the street where we got croissants and yogurt for breakfast. It was a very hot night. There were fans in every room which was nice. But it was still a hot night. It wouldn't have changed my choice though. I would still have stayed here over a place with an AC.

- Mylene (9/5): Apparemment au top ! - Appartement très bien placé, agréable et très sympa... Un grand merci à Clara pour sa sympathie et sa réactivité. Nous avons passé un séjour fantastique ! Ras
- Dahiana (10/5): -
- Adrian (7/5): Good -
- Steve (9/5): Perfectly located apartment for visiting both old and new Carcassonne. - The apartment was perfectly located to the old and new towns, restaurants and even a small épicerie across the road that stocked everything needed and made coffee. The rooms were spacious and were equipped with pretty much everything you could need. Free WIFI and even better free parking was a definite bonus. Wonderful spacious shower and bathroom with great water pressure. The only criticisms would be that the apartment is on the second floor and the staircase has a lot of broken /loose tiles which make it slightly precarious carrying bags up, also regrettably the local rubbish collection point (6 very large bins) are just outside the apartment block and were full to overflowing, added to the 39 degree heat whilst we were there created an eyesore and smell, its a shame these aren't emptied before the weekend. These did not however detract from the wonderful interior of the apartment
- Janice (9/5): Superb - Close to the medieval city
- Triin (10/5): Very satisfied - Nice freshly renovated appartment just a few minutes from the cité (the old castle/town). Coffee and croissants at the doorsteps (an epicérie and a tabac just a few metres away). Free parking organised close by. Staff very helpful.
- Dionne (8/5): Very good - Location, cleanliness and true to description.
- Tomasz (9/5): Perfect location close to everywhere in a big apartment. - Perfect location and comfortable for the family of four The place needs more care and some items need replacing
- Carla (10/5): Excellent Value - The apartment is located on the top floor of the building. We visited Carcassonne at the end of July, when it was really hot. So, although it was on the top floor, there were a lot of windows and cross ventilation. It was a good mix of the classic architecture and modern design.
The location of the building is centrally located, just a few steps away from the l'Aube entrance of the Cite. The restaurants are about 3 minutes walk.
The check-in was easy. The staff was easily accessible and responsive, even though we didn't meet them in person.
We definitely would rent this again if we were in Carcassonne again. The floor could use a little bit of mopping, since we're a family that is shoes-off inside a home. Other than that, nothing.
- Nicholas (10/5): NA - So easy to access. Perfect location for the city. Very clean and comfortable NA
- Ann (8/5): very good - WE couldn't get out of the car park on Sunday morning. The parking key card wouldn't work so we had to mount the curb at the side of the barrier.
- Rhett (6/5): Sketchy communications, parking wasn't provided as promised. Price was a bit high for what you got. - The location near the castle. The Booking.com posting said free parking, but it didn't work and when asked for a refund I never received a response (I was ignored after multiple attempts.). No aircon, open window's equals mosquitos at night in the bedrooms. We did the garbage, dishes and stripped the beds.
- Abbey (8/5): Great location and clean basic stay - Cute wee spot with nice decor, right below the medieval village and if you poked your head out the window you could see it! A unique house in a great location. Beds weren't very comfy or the pillows, very low to the ground. Better beds would make a huge difference!
Just minor things - depends how picky you are. But some basics that should be considered were not up to standard e.g hand soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty, no body wash in the shower, towels were thin and small, stains on the couch, a washing machine but no powder and only a half used roll of toilet paper and one extra. A few tweaks and it would be a 10/10!
- Andrea (7/5): Good - The location was good and the style of the apartment suited the location. The description of the parking wasn’t correct. Specific questions weren’t answered. Two chairs were broken, kitchen utensils very poor.
