The narrow, circular staircase to the top floor was well worth the effort. We enjoyed the apartment and terrace tremendously, listening to the bells of St. Vincent and feeling the breeze blowing in across the garden. We were blessed with a pleasant cool snap and the temperatures were lovely. The Carcassonne wine and loaf of bread were nice welcome gifts upon our arrival! We especially liked the location, being between Place Carnot and the pickup point for the Petit Train up to la Cite, which was recommended to us by Jacquelyn. A nice, relaxing visit to the south of France to conclude our long holiday in Europe. Now I will explain the reasons for the lower ratings on some of the categories. For "accuracy of listing," there are three units in the building. Although we originally inquired about the third-floor unit, we were told it was unavailable for our dates. Because of our son's mobility issues we were happy to get assigned the first-floor unit. But upon arrival, we found that we had been reassigned to the third-floor unit. This would have been good news to most guests, but without advanced knowledge about the switch, it was alarming to us to try to take our son up those very narrow, circular stairs. He was able to do it with two spotters but beware that they are probably the most intense stairs you will ever see this side of a ladder! There is a good, strong metal handrail and good lighting, though. As for "communication with the manager," we did not communicate during our stay directly with the owner. He had an emergency in the family which is quite understandable. But we were not told in advance about the unit change, and an email alert would have helped immensely to prepare us for the challenge ahead. Once we made it up the first night upon arrival, we considered other rentals but at the last minute it would have been very difficult to switch. In the end it worked out fine. We just limited our outings to limit the times we had our son use the stairs. The terrace and view are magnificent, and for anyone who is able-bodied, I highly recommend the top floor unit. The location is excellent being just a few blocks from the main shopping area. But the immediate street/block that the building is on does not feel very safe at night. There is some mystery loitering and loud family arguments going on, so if you're out at night, you do feel that you want to walk crisply and have your key ready. Overall, a lovely place to visit with some minor cautions.
