The apartment is a little bit dated and needs to be updated. ##### María Jesús B.

Beds in second bedroom are too large for the door to close, kitchen is small, and there are not enough tonsils and crockery provided. enclosed garage parking if you are driving, which is excellent, you overlook the main square, which means some noise at night, but this is expected, and a part of the Chamonix experience. The apartment could do with some updating and more kitchen equipment. Then perfect.

Plenty of room for us all. Having 2 bathrooms is really good. The apartment has WiFi which was super handy for the kids to game on their tablets in the evening. My only bad point would be that the oven is up way too high in the kitchen. If you plan on cooking just be aware of that. The apartment is in a fantastic location in the centre of town. It's very close to ski rental, bars and restaurants. The ski bus stop is less than 2 min walk away. I would definitely recommend staying here and I probably will again myself in the future.

If your up early and back late or are a heavy sleeper then it’s good if not or you have kids then maybe not ##### Brian M.

According to the advice from my bank, I refused to do so, and offered several alternatives for “damage deposit” including cash deposit. In my opinion, current “damage deposit” collection method needs following improvements: - If “credit card detail including securecode” is required to be collected, it should be clearly highlighted in the apartment offering. Potential customers should be informed explicitly on this before paying the rent. - Collecting “credit card detail including secure code” basically is very harmful for customers from cyber security viewpoint. The collected information can be used for many other internet payments if stolen or misuse. I would prefer to pay cash deposit just for damage deposit purpose. Otherwise, the apartment is very well located. Directly in the main street that is car free and full of restaurants and shops. Less than 100 meters to the ski shuttle buses to various ski lifts. The apartment is clean and the service team is helpful. ##### Xiong Z.

The Apartment was as expected. Good space for four people with 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms of resonable size. The location in the absolute centre of Chamonix makes it easy to reach all services as restaurants and stores in the pedestrian area. We will be back. ##### Mats K.

It is very comfortable and tries to be well equipped. It was booked through "Chamonix All Year" and they are very good to deal with and helpful on arrival. They were to hand if needed but did not pester to push further activities. Just a few frank comments to be considered: The apartment has a few irritating idiosyncrasies which could be ironed out to make this excellent. Chamonix A.Y. get your selves some decent bath towels - it is a disgrace supplying basically a hand towel as a bath towel for what you are charging! Like so many continental apartments the owners have gone cheap and fitted a rubbish(and dirty) microwave which pretends to be an oven as well. These apartments are let as self catering and these appliances are just not up to to catering for a family, we don't all want to live on boiled pasta all week. The rest of the kitchen is well equipped. There are two well appointed bathrooms with over bath showers - only one of these is useable as a shower as the pressure is so low. I prefer a shower and am all for saving water, however, when you give up on the shower as it is so useless and have a bath it defeats the object! The shower in the washing machine room was so much better. The drainage on both baths and sinks is useless and you just end up pulling the drain cover off to get water out, this was the same at our second weeks apartment - are there no good plumbers in France!?!?!? Finally, an issue to be aware of but no one can do nothing about, at 6:30 every morning the main street comes alive and the street sweeper hums its merry way outside your bedroom window. Delivery trucks arrive and shop maintenance runs amuck! If you are an early riser no problem, if not then be warned. On the plus side you are wonderfully entertained by street buskers (some very talented ) throughout the day and well into the evening. As I said, overall a lovely apartment which we would both use again and recommend to others. Equally, the same applies to Chamonix All Year. We look forward to using your services again. ##### Stephen T.

It is very central - clean - well equipped and very spacious. We have booked with chamonix all year before and find them very efficient from booking through to meeting and greeting on arrival. The only downside to this apartment is with it being so central there can be noise quite late at night. ##### Gillian H. ---
