La Maison de Jean by Maison Bacou

Very near to the old city. Shower great.

Sent a couple of messages which weren’t responded to. Room was very dark.

The property is located within 5min walking distance from the entrance of the Carcassonne Castle and really convenient for exploring the area. Good restaurants in immediate vicinity of the property as well. The breakfast was very good, fresh bread, nice coffee. Welcome glass of wine (sparking but not champagne) and the option to buy a bottle of wine a bonus. Excellent communication with the owner in terms of check-in process, recommendations etc.

The bathroom of the room we stayed in could benefit from a shower screen.

A luxurious little place, very tastefully renovated. A view from the room, over the pool, of the citadelle, was great. Complimentary champagne and breakfast were a very nice touch.

The location is great although we struggled to find it, its off a main street and tucked up a little road behind some houses. It is very close to the Medieval city (short walk up the hill), and close to a lovely selection of restaurants. The views of the city walls are absolutely beautiful, it was especially lovely at night when the walls were lit up. The place was very clean and well decorated. Good for one night stay, but we really struggled to sleep well so unfortunately we probably wouldn't return. Breakfast was good but fairly limited, especially if you are gluten free the only options are fruit and yoghurt.

Unfortunately we did not sleep very well. Our window faced the courtyard/main entrance and we were kept awake by people standing out there at midnight smoking and chatting, and everytime someone came in through the main door we were woken up by the sounds. The walls are fairly thin. Another thing which isn't ideal is there is big square opening in the wall from the bathroom to the bedroom, and the door is a thin sliding door meaning there is very little privacy. There is however a separate toilet at the end of the lobby/coridoor. Also the automatic lights in the bathroom go off every 3 seconds even when you're still in there which is very annoying especially when you are trying to shower.
