Le Balcon de Carcassonne, T2 au pied de la Cité

😊: The accommodation was centrally located, close to the castle, offering a stunning view of the castle from the bath.. 😢: Attention could be paid to cleanliness. The cupboards, table, boiler, and radiator were dusty in several places. A foul smell emanated from the bathroom, so the door always had to be kept closed; otherwise, the entire apartment would have a stagnant and unpleasant odor. The doors were covered in fingerprints. The bed creaked, and the pillow was uncomfortable..

😊: Great location. 😢: Very dirty, very uncomfortable bed and pillows. Flooring is destroyed, light not working. Instructions are quite bad and hard to connect to internet, I asked for help as password was not working and I am still waiting for a reply.

😊: Position close to the old city center, nice view.. 😢: Unfortunately, the drain on the bathroom sink was clogged, and we had to use the one in the kitchen. There was no air conditioning and as it was very hot during our stay, it was difficult to sleep. I was surprised not to see any soap in the bathroom. Luckily, we had ours..

😊: Only nice part was proximity to the city and view from the bathroom window. 😢: Not alot! Apartment was very poor. Electrics were unsafe and came straight out of the wall. Shower was broken and if you managed to hold it up the shower drains were completely blocked. The stairs are a real hazard and are completely unsuitable for elderly or children. We paid extra for parking which was a joke as it was on drive of house. Garden was a mess. Nothing matching in kitchen with odd bits of cutlery. Fridge door broken. Bed was ok but no bulbs in lamps, no hanging space and random bedding flung over the makeshift unit. Kitchen tap was also loose..

😊: Well decorated and clean apartment in a great position to explore the city on both sides of the river. Close to restaurants and cafes, quiet in the evenings.. 😢: We couldn’t check in until 5pm. It is up two flights of stairs which didn’t bother us at all but could be a problem if you have limited mobility. No bread knife!.
