Nice apartment in the city center with private courtyard

High ceilings and large common room were nice. Some stand lights and lamps would be nice - ceiling LED lights are harsh. Limited options for breakfast cafes. There is no dryer so bring clothes pins if you want to use the washer. (There is a makeshift clothes line on the patio). Towels are old and very thin. A couple of dehumidifiers would help with the dampness of a basement apartment.

We couldn’t have asked for a better location to tour around the old and new city. Left car parked and walked everywhere. Amazing restaurants all around. Very comfortable beds!!!

The apartment was in a great position for all the places of interest which we wanted to visit. It was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Communication with the host was effective and prompt. We enjoyed the local restaurants and cafe culture. The Fete de Musique took place while we were there so we also enjoyed open air concerts. Thank you for a wonderful stay Goretti

Property is on same side of Square Gambetta as Ibis Hotel. What we liked: Great location for exploring Carcassonne, including medieval city; Quiet; WiFi (though connection not always reliable); Appliances & kitchen well stocked (crockery etc); dishwasher tablets/washing machine pods supplied; Carrefour & Monoprix - local small supermarkets - both within 5-10 mins walk; likewise independent food stores (such as patisserie & greengrocer). Things to be aware of: Low beds; Noisy toilet (air suction style); 2 of stayed using both beds - made up with 1 pillow per bed only yet lots of spares available (along with blankets); only provided with 2 bath & 2 tea towels for 1 week (no hand towels); hot water takes about 2 minutes to get through; washing machine stacked on top of dishwasher; very few clothes hangers; only 8 clothes pegs; lots of pigeons nesting in the courtyard where outdoor seating & washing line are; no waste/recycling information - 2 different bins for building; can hear neighbours talking through walls in both bedrooms. What we didn't like: No oven glove or laundry basket; no windows in either bedroom or shower room - only 1 in sitting room on same wall as entrance door; crockery plentiful but not all of it left clean & some chipped/cracked; The entrance door was sticking & difficult to open upon our arrival; we discovered the laminate flooring had swollen. Water gets in when it rains heavily. On 1 evening we had to mop floor of flood water inside entrance.
