“A very nice apartment with lots of room” A very comfortable apartment on the ground floor, having no stairs was a nice change. The lounge was spacious and there were two good sized bedrooms. It was within walking distance to the shops and the station. And if you don't mind walking, you can also walk to the old city. We were met at the apartment when we arrived in Carcassonne, so there was no waiting around.

“Central” The apartment was spacious enough for four adults in comfort. It was idealy situated within walking distance of anything of interest in Carcassonne and only a ten euro taxi ride from the airport. 500 mtrs from the railway syation and the Canal du Midi, same from the tourist information. Supermarket only 200 mtrs and the old city/citadel at one kilometre. Definitly recomended!
