Guest Reviews
- Francisco Javier (9/5): - Encantados con Estelle
- Copado Aguilar (9/5): Vale la pena ir a l’alcove - La ubicación muy próxima al castillo, la comodidad y espacio del apartamento y está muy equipado. La incomodidad de no poder parar ni estacionar cerca para dejar y subir las maletas, creo que el anfitrión debería estar a la llegada para abrir la barrera de la calle descargar y volver a salir.
Varios enchufes no funcionan.
- Ramon (10/5): Tot perfecte - L’ubicació perfecte tant per visitar la Ciutadella com la ciutat nova.
Tots els detalls de la casa, que son molts i no em vull extendre.
I sobretot la comunicació amb l’anfitriona. Em vaig deixar un mp3 i m’el va enviar per missatger Res
- Enrique (9/5): Excelente apartamento para visitar Carcasone y alrededores - Localización y el apartamento en sí, era muy acogedor. Estuvimos casi como en casa. El apartamento estaba limpio, pero la limpieza se podría mejorar un poco, es lo único por lo que no hemos puesto el 10.
- Lidia (8/5): Bonito apartamento cerca de las murallas. - La ubicación, la amabilidad del personal, la comodidad de las camas, la decoración... Nos dejaron cápsulas para el lavavajillas pero eran pagando 0'50€ cada pastilla, y lo mismo para la lavadora.
- Han_outandabout (6/5): Stay OK - We stayed for two nights. The place was easy to find, in a beautiful location off a narrow atmospheric laneway. The location was excellent, so close to the citadel and the river. The host was communicative and friendly, she offered that we check in earlier when found out we were already in the city. The bed was comfortable. Sitting space was spacious and the couch very big. We didn't prepare meals nor watched TV so cannot comment on appliances. I gagged when we first walked in, the smell of mould and dampness was overwhelming. Bathroom was the worst but I could smell it everywhere, even with fans on. My husband smelled it mostly in the bathroom, but was sneezing and his eyes were sore - I guess he felt it this way. The place felt dark even with the small windows fully open. We stayed out for most of the day so it wasn't a big issue. The bathroom was smelly, shower enclosure leaking water to the floor outside and with dirty looking open gaps between shower tray and the walls. Clean and dirty dishes and cuttlert were mixed, we have washed first everything we wanted to use. I understand that the host wants guests to leave their place in a good condition, but extent and detail of the cleaning instructions for us were indicative of reliance on guests to clean the place for the next visitors.
- Victoria (8/5): Great place to stay in Carcasonne - Excellent location for visiting both the medieval city and the centre. Great restaurants and cafe on the doorstep. Host was very helpful.
- Heather (9/5): Superb - The perfect location to visit La Cité!
- Ema (9/5): Superb -
- George (6/5): Great location, interesting place to stay, just need to fix the shower to make it better. - Great location, traditional street. The SHOWER!
No seal on the bottom of the door so no shower without flooding the bathroom. So had to mop the floor after even the briefest of use. Also an oversized shower head that didn’t fit in the holder.
- Evelyn (9/5): Central Location - Comfortable beds, clean property. No Milk ,No shower soap. English visitors need Tea with Milk.
Could not bring large liquids through airport so this was a problem. Luckily there was a shop close buy. Paid for a clean up but had to do it myself as Host wanted this done ! Couldn't do more than I did.
- Stephanie (10/5): Brilliant find in carcassone - A great space with everything that we needed for a family of 5 on a short break. Estelle was very welcoming and the apartment is very welcoming. Amazing location to explore all of carcassone - the castle and the main town.
- Trish (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ed (6/5): Very nice accommodation, good location, but too hot in August - A nice apartment which was clean and comfortable. The host was excellent with communication. Just three things really:
1. The code key code provided by Booking.com was wrong, the host sent me the correct code.
2. It was warm weather around 34 degrees in the city, the apartment didn't have any air conditioning but did have fans. This is not a reflection on the host or apartment, it was just very hot day and night.
3. There was no hairdryer in the apartment, apparently it broke with the previous visitors and there wasn't time to replace this. If we had been told before our stay we would have brought out own. A message to the host did not resolve the issue.
- Andrea (10/5): Wonderful accommodation. Excellent location and excellent host always at hand with any questions we had. Would definitel - Beautiful apartment in perfect location of the main parts of Carcassonne and the castle. Had everything we wanted. N/A
- Niamh (10/5): Exceptional -
