A friend and I stayed three nights at Giles' place after a very last minute decision to visit the area. Giles responded immediately to our inquiry and provided prompt communication during our stay, although the translation from his French to my English was challenging (especially when it came to directions, which I have provided in English below since this was a big frustration for us).
The apartment is a very nice place to be: newly renovated, bright and clean. It's beautifully situation with the crashing waves below and a sea view beyond. We spent much of our time on the breezy patio. The kitchen is well equipped with all the dishes and tools you will need (plus some food and basics), but bring your own bathroom amenities. The walk to the town/beach area is about 2 km.
The listing says that towels and linens are not provided. Just like when you go to a youth hostel. It's the owner's prerogative, of course, but... that's plain crazy to me for the price. Unfortunately I totally missed that in the listing and we were not able (or willing) to procure these items. Giles was perfectly accommodating on this this issue and ultimately Fabienne, who greeted us, found some sheets and old towels for us to use, which we appreciated.
We were not able to log into the internet at all during our three days, and this was a big issue since my friend and I both had work to do. There needs to be a better solution for working through internet questions. We found Wifi in town at the cafes and we had to use cellular data in the apartment which cost a small fortune.
And here are the driving directions in English:
You will drive through Roses on Ctra. del Far with the sea on your right side. This road turns into Ctra. Canyelles. There is a roundabout just past the harbor (go straight); 1.2 km from the roundabout is a small lighthouse on the right. From there, on your right, you will see an 8-story condo building that says "Baumar" on the side. That is it! Take the driveway on the right before the building. Fabienne met us at the bottom and showed us where to park.
