Inadequate service

The Pogis Aude, France
Review Submitted: October 10, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Whilst the listing description was accurate with regards to the facilities in the apartment there was too much furniture in a very small space for example the washing machine in the bathroom left virtually no space and the badly placed water heater made using the toilet more of a limbo dance. The property initially looked clean but on closer inspection this was found not to be the case. The oven did not work properly and the hob took an age to get going. The owner was very prompt in replying to our initial enquiry but once the monies had been sent there was a distinct lack of communication, we had to chase the owners for information on how to get into the apartment and as we had not heard by the date of travel we had to arrive 'blind' and to have the owner blame their internet provider and we can only conclude there was also a problem with their telephone over a two week period. We could not recommend this apartment to friends or relatives. The only things to recommend this apartment is that it does accept pets and is two minute walk to the beach and etang.where we enjoyed lots of walks. Being towards the end of the season less than a handful of restaurants and shops were open.
Owner's Response: Great care is taken in presenting the apartment to a very good standard.Customer service and presentation is very high on our priority list.Since 2006, we have had a guest book in the apartment and all guests have filled this out.The comments read as follows:
Great welcome, well organised, best apartment kitted out with all you could need.Friendly, helpful, great hosts, freezer as well as fridge, wow, good to have a washing machine,thanks for providing such nice sheets and making the beds,great location everything nearby, will come again, and many, many more.To comment on this review, we believe it says it all in our guest book.All details and queries were anwsered and emailed with directions before 4 weeks before arrival.Please also refer to the previous review which was posted .

Superbly equipped apartment close to sea

LizandJoy Berkshire, UK
Review Submitted: May 19, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My mother and I stayed in this apartment for a week in May and found it very well-equipped and central. The welcome from Carol was very warm and she provided us with items to make hot drinks on our arrival. The apartment was spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds, nice bed linen and towels. As well as all the items listed on the advertisement, we needn't have taken an iron or a hairdryer, because both were provided. There is loads of hanging space and storage in the apartments, a lovely covered verandah with sliding windows which can be left open to enjoy the morning sunshine over breakfast. Full size oven and fast hob were much appreciated, as was the microwave.

We found the area very quiet and peaceful even in the evenings, and we felt totally secure in the apartment. Designated car parking was included, and Carol was very helpful when we had a problem with our hire car.

We explored all along the coast south of Le Barcares, and went into the Pyrenees several times. We particularly liked Ceret and Collioure, and hope to return to the apartment in the future.

There are rampways available up to the apartment to save having to climb steps, the whole area is well lit, clean and peaceful. A boulangerie, a supermarket and several eating places are all within two minutes walk, as is the seaside promenade which is paved, level and very smooth.

The kitchen equipment was the best we have ever experienced (including a kettle and teapot!) and plenty of crockery and cutlery provided. We really could just have arrived with our clothing for the week. We used the washing machine once during our stay and were able to dry things overnight on the airer (provided) on the verandah.

Highly recommended apartment with excellent access to the surrounding area. The Village at le Barcares has some excellent eating places as well, and there are plenty of good beaches along the coast.

We flew with Ryanair to Beziers from London Luton, and found the 60 km journey from the airport very easy and took less than an hour.
