If VRBO allowed half stars, Iâd give this place a 4.5/5. Here is my breakdown: Location 4/5: located within a few steps to Brevent/Flegere ski area and also very close to all the local shops, restaurants, and cafes. Itâs also just one block from the bus station which takes you to Le Tour and Grand Montets ski area. The downside is that itâs right next door to the Folie Deuce apres ski bar. The bar is very loud, and you can hear everything through the walls. Donât plan on going to bed before midnight.Accommodations 4/5: all ten members of the family complained about how hard the beds were. The ski locker is nice but will only hold about 5 pairs of skis. The rest just have to lug theirs up the stairs everyday. The shower door on one of the showers came off of its tracks. We let the property manager know immediately, but it wasnât fixed right away. So we had one less shower than originally advertised for the five days of our trip. Everything was very clean and it was nice to have a washer in the unit. Check in/ Check out 5/5: very easy to find the unit with the instructions provided. No problems here. Cleanliness 5/5Overall we really liked this unit and would come back again. Though the area is a bit loud, our family didnât necessarily plan this trip as a relaxing stay. A few of the light sleepers put in earplugs and it was fine. The beds could definitely be better. Pay a few extra for quality mattresses, and itâll go a long way for the guests.
Great location in central Chamonix. Excellent communication from hosts. Spacious and clean apartment. Kitchen would benefit from an uplift and ski storage could be better. No facilities for drying ski boots which is the only draw backâŠ..we had an excellent experience!
