The location is perfect in this 3 story private home. Guests access floors 2 and 3. The owner/host Catherine was fantastically helpful and accommodating. She came with us to show us where the parking lot and neighborhood cafes were. She also left us snacks and a bottle of wine to welcome us. The bedding is a bit tired (get it?). There is no a/c (in this entire section of France) so we slept with windows wide open. This is a great place for four people looking for a very convenient place to stay in Albi.

Catherine, the owner, takes great pride in her house and has kept furniture and accessories to fit in with the authenticity. We were able to check in and leave at our convenience and Catherine was very prompt at answering any questions. She greeted us with wine and tasty snacks and told us to help ourselves to any food or drinks in refrigerator and cupboards--and there was plenty (at least 6 different kinds of ice cream!). House is big with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. We were so intrigued by it that it was hard to leave to go out and explore the town. It really set the stage for a memorable day there. The house, town, river, old buildings and interaction with some teens enjoying their town made this one of my favorite days of our month-long trip.

Location was perfect, accommodations were perfect.

We booked this apartment for the location which is great but the apartment itself was not as great. Let me start by saying we didn’t stay here. We arrived on a very hot day and the place was an oven. We tried for a few hours to get comfortable but ended up leaving and staying in a hotel. The furniture is quite old and uncomfortable. The shared public spaces (kitchen and sitting room) are on the second floor with the bedrooms on the third floor accessed by an open stairway. The owner was pleasant and helpful (getting out some fans for the heat). She didn’t respond to our texts about arrival but was there when we arrived. She had wine and told us to help ourselves to anything in her kitchen, which we were to share. This is not a free standing apartment but a shared space in her home with no real privacy. So for us it didn’t work but it is in a good location.
