Maison la Soleiade

😊: Such an amazing location, we will definitely be booking again!. 😢: Great location, large rooms, great outside space, everything you could need!.

😊: - We informed our hosts that we're arriving with a baby and two small kids and therefore we asked them to heat up the apartment in advance. By the time we arrived, all rooms were pre-heated at quite warm temperatures and a baby cot was prepared in the parents' room in advance, even though we didn't ask for it (it was of great help btw as we didn't need to spend time mounting our own). - The apartment is well equipped with anything a family would need, including utilities like e.g. vacuum cleaner, coffee machine (two of them, one for pods & one for regular coffee), ironing utilities, fully equipped kitchen etc etc etc. There are also some board games (although a "Carcassonne" board game is clearly missing) and a small courtyard where kids can play basketball. - The historial city centre (Unesco World Heritage) is literally two corners away.. 😢: - Street lights are shut around midnight in the entire area. It's literally dark at night on streets (I needed to use a torch to walk our dog). It was a bit scary, and because of that, we decided to keep the window shutters shut overnight (for which reason our rooms were completely darkened). - There are no grocery shops in the vicinity, the closest one we found was at 15 minutes walking distance (closer options were closed on weekends). - The garage is OK for small cars but it's certainly not meant to fit a family car (we arrived with a small rented SUV -- a Peugeot 3008 --, it took some effort to fit it, I'm not sure if I could have parked our own VW Sharan in that place)..

😊: This is a well-equipped house in an excellent location near the Cite of Carcassonne. The safe garage for my motorcycle was a real bonus for me and we also enjoyed the sunny courtyard. We were able to do laundry (you can't carry many clothes on a motorcycle) and the TV had netflix for the evenings when we didn't go out.. 😢: There could be clearer information about how to use the wifi and how to recycle..

😊: Great location, very well equipped kitchen. 😢: More information, eg about nearest glass recycling, boulangerie, buses into town would have been appreciated, but we were able to find all of this eventually.
