A friend of mine recommended this charming apartment to me, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to stay here!!! As an English teaching assistant, I rented the apartment for 8 months during the French school year. Throughout all 8 months Brendan, the owner, was extremely helpful and accommodating! I was impressed with the size of this clean and well-maintained apartment, and the balcony is an impressive size as well (great to enjoy a cup of tea or meal while soaking up the southern French sun!!!). In front of the apartment, there is a boulangerie (French baguette/pastry shop), a shop for grocery essentials, and a bus-stop with quick transfers to nearby/charming beaches and towns, and even to the train station and airport. If you enjoy cooking like I do, the kitchen is well-equipped, and there is also a huge bath for those who like to kick back and relax. This quiet building is also within walking-distance of a beautiful park, the Office of Tourism, and downtown Perpignan (downtown, by the way, is full of wonderful cafés, shops, and restaurants...a great atmosphere for families or singles). I must also add that Brendan recently purchased a new, good-sized/great quality television. I miss the apartment and wish I could have taken it back with me to the states! I would absolutely recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a relaxing "home away from home" during their stay in the beautiful south of France!
