Very Pleased!

We were very pleased with this apartment. It is conveniently located near the train and bus station (a 5+ minute walk that we easily did with our young children) as well as the beach, restaurants, etc. We even walked to Le Musée de la Castre in the old town from the apartment. There are several nice playgrounds within a short walking distance if you have young kids. The building and location are very safe and quiet. No hesitation walking around at night.
The layout is perfect for a family. The kitchen was well equipped (except some new forks and knives are needed) if you are planning to cook and eat in. All appliances work well and the washing machine was quite helpful. Easy to dry laundry on the deck. The wireless internet works great.
For the most part the apartment is clean and well maintained. Would have liked to see a little more attention to detail on the cleaning and some towel racks in the bathroom, but we would definitely recommend this property to a friend or would stay here again ourselves.
Maybe this already exists and we didn't see it, but it would be so helpful to have a map and list with recommended restaurants, grocery stores, boulangeries, boucheries, atms, etc. in the neighborhood. The first 2 days we were there it poured rain and didn't really have the opportunity to walk around and explore. The super marche on the corner was flooded and we didnt know where the alternate grocery stores were. This information could go inside the folder in the apartment and/or online. We enjoyed the Boulangerie called Pains de Provence on the corner of Av. Republique and Merle. Fantastic croissants, sandwiches, salads. Stop there for a sandwich on the way to the beach. Also, there is a grocery store called Piccard (from apartment walk down to Av. Republique and turn left and is next to pharmacy). They have prepared gourmet frozen foods. Very easy if you want to eat in but not spend a lot of time prepping/cooking. We were here for 2 weeks so it was helpful.
