Toulouse-Blagnac Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Toulouse-Blagnac airport is about 7 km from the centre: tram T2 links it to the city in 20-30 minutes with departures every 15 minutes, or there's the shuttle bus to the Gare Matabiau in 25-40 minutes. Among the many short-let properties on offer for Toulouse, few have genuinely numerous and verifiable reviews: the ones that hold up are an aparthotel in the heart of the old town, at the foot of the Grave, one next to the Jardin des Plantes, and a small flat in the Bonnefoy quarter, close to the station from which the airport shuttle departs.
