The unit was on the top floor, The stairs are steep but what we expected for an old property. The interior was clean and a bottle of wine welcomed us. The bed was comfortable although a queen which is a little small for us but we made do. The bathroom was okay as well. We did have an issue with hot water but there was a booster for the water heater. The walk to the walled city was about 20 minutes, Driving the streets are very narrow and we did find public pay parking. It was a bit confusing about how long we could leave the car there but it worked out for us because we were there for the weekend. Plenty of places to eat, a main square within an easy walk along with a supermarket.We would recommend the property ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Maggie P. 16 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location.

Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claude L. 2 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful apartment We really enjoyed our stay in the "Merlot" apartment at the top of this ancient building, called "La Botte Cachée." The English owners live in town, and were very helpful when we ran up against minor problems during the check-in process; they were also amazingly generous about letting us check out several hours late. The apartment includes a very nice balcony (with a great view of the neighboring gothic bell-tower of St. Vincent's church), a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable bedroom, a living room with a fold-out sofa-bed, and a rather luxurious shower. Do be forewarned, though, that access to the apartment involves climbing a spiral staircase; thus, it would probably not be suitable for families with small children or for adults with mobility issues. The "Bastide" area of Carcassonne is definitely a great place to spend some time. It is full of wonderful, moderately priced restaurants, and the locals are charming and friendly. It's not far from the better-known "Cité" (citadel), but we would recommend taking a taxi to get there, rather than walking. ##### Claude L.

We ate out a couple of times but also made good use of the kitchen to prepare our own meals. Richard was always very responsive with answers to any questions that we had. Parking in the area sadly doesn't seem to be free anymore but we found the local underground car parks will sell a week long ticket for 20Euros which was very reasonable. ##### Judith E.

The flat is cozy and well equipped and welcoming, placed in a small building dating back to the 16th century, but fully refurbished. Everything is at walking distance from this flat (station, main place of the Bastide with its bars and restaurants, the museum and small cathedral) and also the medieval Cité. We slept well with the windows closed because the neighborhood can become somewhat noisy during early night. A highlight is the balcony suitable for breakfast as well as for enjoying a glass of wine towards the end of the day. Parking spaces (not expensive) and bus stops (e.g. local bus line to the airport) are close by. ##### Sigrid M.

The description is accurate and the place is very convenient. But it is worth mentioning for people arriving with a car, that all legal parking places close to the house have to be paid for. On top of that, it is not possible to pay for more than 5 hours at once, but re-payment is allowed. The parking fees are very reasonable. ##### Sylvie R.

Raymond met us at the station at 9.00 pm and drove us there even though it was only a 5 minute walk. He was excellent, showing us all facilities and letting us know about the sights of Carcassonne. He even let us stay until 1.00 pm on our third and final day when we were delayed due to a train strike. The apartment was clean, well maintained, had everything we wanted and was quite roomy. We would recommend it to others and would certainly stay there again. ##### Ralph C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly H. 22 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice apartment in the Bastide! Lovely apartment in the heart of Bastide. Parking was easy outside the apartment and there is also more free parking nearby. Raymond met us to check in and provided really useful information on local area. We really appreciated the bottle of wine, baguette and butter on arrival also! We slept on the sofa bed and my daughter took the bedroom - both comfy. Balcony is great bonus and there are good cooking facilities. We were there in the middle of a heat wave and it was warm but fans were provided which really helped. Great place and would stay again! ##### Kelly H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022
