Excellent facilities and location

My wife and I stayed here in early September and had a great week. The apartment is equipped to a high standard, with lots of thoughtful touches one wouldn't normally expect from a holiday rental, like bikes, towels, connected laptop, and comfortable beds! The location couldn't be better; harbour, beaches and mountains on the doorstep. The harbour view is wonderful, and the balcony is a great place to people-watch and relax in the evening.
Bob was a pleasure to deal with. Excellent communications from my initial enquiry through to when we got home. I really felt that Bob would do anything he possibly could to ensure that we enjoyed our stay.
The only disappointing aspect, very much outside the owners' control, in that the main drag in Argeles (plage area) is quite tacky - lots of similar bars and restaurants, with little atmosphere. The port area, however, has class and atmosphere in abundance. You'll pay a bit more to eat out in the port, but the standard of food and the views make it so worthwhile. Particularly good was the Abalounge (last bar on right as you look out of apartment). We found it a really chilled-out place for a drink and a great place to eat. Only a small menu, but they use fresh local ingredients and everything is prepared and cooked on the premises to a high standard. And the staff there were really friendly, which is something that was missing in many other places we visited.
I'd recommend this apartment - and the location - to anyone. Personally, I'd find the apartment a bit cramped for 4 people - you'd really need to know you got on with the others! But for a couple or a family you'd find the place hard to beat for comfort, facilities, owners, and location.
