Great location. Wonderful church bells.
The location of the apartment was perfect for exploring the area. Walking distance to the train station, even with suitcases.
Spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds.
We took a local bus to a most enjoyable lunch at a nearby town.
The English language tour of the Medieval City was essential to understand its rich, layered history.
We had come from Toulouse by train and then left in the other direction for Paris via the regional and fast trains - direct to CDG.

Lovely week in Carcassonne
Just returned from a very enjoyable week's stay in this lovely accommodation. In an excellent location within the lower town of Carcassonne, the apartment was quiet, secure, spacious, rustic, very clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. Ten minutes walk from the main square, the apartment is very close to supermarkets, shops and restaurants. In the other direction, the flat is a ten minutes walk to the station and bus stops (for the Cité Médiévale although this is also walkable). I would also highly recommend using the proximity to the station to do day trips to Toulouse, Perpignan or Montpellier. The apartment also had a private terrace with lovely views of the old cathedral and made for a great place to unwind with a local bottle of wine of an evening. Richard was an excellent host and very easy to make contact with before and during our stay. Ceiling fans would be a good investment for those hot summer nights. 10/10 and I would highly recommend booking this place to stay.
Thank you Richard and Helen.
Lovely big apartment in a well renovated historic house. Had everything necessary plus a balcony which looks onto trees and a belltower. Great location for all of Carcassonne. Close to the canal and station. Airport pick up by the owner was a nice extra!

Carcassonne apartment
The apartment was in a very good central location for sightseeing, it included everything we needed for a holiday, and was very clean and tidy on arrival. An added benefit was that Raymond the owner picked us up from the airport and gave us a short but informative tour.

Comfortable and very tastefully decorated apartment in a superb location.
Raymond is a superb host and has gone to a lot of trouble to make sure that his restoration of this characterful and historic property is first class. It is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. All amenities are provided and the amazing shower deserves a mention of it's own! The balcony is also a lovely spot to sit and enjoy a glass of wine or two. The location is superb. You are a short walk away from shops, restaurants, markets, the train station and the Canal Du Midi. It is in the heart of town through so be aware that it can get noisy at times, especially if you need to have the windows open as we did in the middle of the heatwave. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely stay in Carcassonne Nov 2017
Great welcome from Raymond, pick up from the airport, tour and welcome pack much appreciated. Lovely apartment, has everything you need. Coffee machine is Dolce Gusto you need to take the coffee pods. Also take a few CD's if likely to have a night in, were a few in the apartment but a bit limited/ old films.Highlight was Carcassonne Cite by day when a bit busier (do the castle tour 9 euros, European citizens under 25 go free, need proof of age), and at night very atmospheric but quiet not much was open but still had a lovely meal. Try the cassoulette anywhere. Good Saturday food market in Place Carnot centre of town. Celt pub good pub vibe, sky sports good mix of locals and tourists.Trip to Limoux 1 euro train or bus from the strain station nice but very quiet. Airport shuttle from the train station 5 euros each from stop in front of the station, times linked to flight times. Le bistrot restaurant near the train station good food, value and choice excellent for last meal before flight, (only small cafe at the airport and no restaurants nearby). November was a bit too quiet and cold would suggest spring or late summer if planning a visit. The Lawrence family.

Great place to stay - Comfortable, good location, well-looked after
Location is grand, just a stagger to the main square, station and canal. Well equipped and maintained and a comfortable base for a visit. Small price to pay is a bit of noise (church bells and street sounds) but can't expect anything else of a town centre flat. The wee terrace seals the deal.

Clean, well equipped, warm and comfortable. Very easy to use temperature controls.
It was a pleasant surprise to be picked up from the airport and given a ten minute tour of Carcassonne. Raymond gave us a lot of useful information about getting to the town centre and other useful places. Also a brief history of the building we were staying in.
We had a wonderful stay in the apartment. The kitchen was well equipped and we had a welcome pack of bread, wine and milk which was much appreciated.
The visitors book gives an useful insight into places to visit and restaurants to eat at. If you enjoy reading I do recommend Labyrinth by Kate Mosse which is set in the Medieval city of Carcassonne, before your holiday. If you don't get to the tourist information place ; there are plenty of leaflets in the apartment. It is in a very central position, close to the market square, station and buses not longer than 10-15minute walk. There lots of boutique type shops. There's a Carrefour and mono prix close by for groceries and also boulangiers and pattiesiers.
In the market square there are plenty of places to eat.

An ideal apartment for two couples. Full of character, well equipped and in a great location.
Spent a fabulous week in this lovely apartment in the heart of Carcassone. The apartment itself is spacious, well equipped, beautifully restored and has the bonus of an outside terrace. It enjoys a great location being close to the local square and an easy walk takes you to the medieval city with it's many shops, restaurants and spectacular views. Being picked up from the airport was great and Raymond was readily available for any help or advice. A week wasn't long enough to explore fully and I would happily return and would recommend this beautiful apartment to friends and family

Emplacement bruyant, impossibilité de dormir la nuit
Il y a aucune luminosité dans la pièce principale, les fenêtres sont trop hautes (impossibilité de regarder par la fenêtre), environnement trop bruyant. En ce qui concerne la terrasse elle ne fait pas partie du logement. Nous devons monter un étage. De plus elle est commune aux 2 appartements, ce qui n'était pas précisé sur le site. Il manquait le fer à repasser, la pomme de douche était peu solide, il n'y avait pas d'éponge pour laver la vaisselle, les oreillers n'étaient pas assez ferme. Puis il était noté qu'il y avait un parking sur l'annonce. Du coup nous avons dû nous garer plus loin, sauf que la voiture en a fait les frais...
