We stayed as a family of 4 to go skiing. The apartment is small but perfect for our needs. I would not have liked sharing with another family. The head height upstairs is sub 6ft. Not a problem for anyone apart from my husband who only hit his head once! The view of the mountains is great and easy access to the slopes with shops and ski rental very close by. The walk into the centre very easy via the lift and bridge. Alexandre and Marjory Messaged me the day before arrival and could not have been more helpful. We were very fortunate to check in much earlier than advertised as the previous people had left early. Alexandre and Marjory were super helpful during our stay helping us find a nanny at short notice for our kids when I had to go to Albertville to have surgery after a ski accident. Having spent a lot of time in the apartment after the accident, I can very much recommend it!
Apartment was small but had everything we needed. Big enough for 4 Adults would be a push at 6.
The property was small but had everything we needed and everything was working great. Bed were comfortable, it had a great shower and water was always hot. We had no problems getting in and out of the Apt. Lift was a bit slow
Booked for a weeks skiing in February and on arrival I was told we had to pay more money because we booked for 1 person when it clearly says upto 7 people on the listing. This is a tiny flat, you cannot fit more than 4 people, be aware. We then took lots of pictures of the property to report its cleanliness, lack of facilities and dangerous plumbing/electrics. Throughout our stay we noticed that people had been in the property and some of my friends expressed items went missing. We had one key between 7 people - a nightmare to gain access. The door was broken the whole time so we were unable to gain access without a key. The electrics were all dangerously overloaded, one of the lights smashed due to overheating and shards of glass went in one of the beds. The building manager came and tried to blame us, which is when we knew something wasn’t right. Once we checked out, we were told to leave the key in a post box which we didn’t want to do incase the hosts were going to try and claim damages, so we took lots of pictures and what transpired next is nothing short of a scam. 2 days after coming home, we got an invoice from the host for €900 claiming we pulled the shower off the wall, didn’t take a bin out and broke several items. Luckily we took pictures which provided valuable evidence, however, VRBO did nothing and they took the money without any independent adjudication, the photos provided from the host showed no damage. This host is a scammer, stay away!
Great location and size for two couples. Bakery, ski hire and slopes all incredibly close. Everything you could need in the kitchen. Only small comment is the property is very warm so you won’t need thick pjs. Lovely holiday, would stay again

Great location
The location was great, and the kitchen and bathroom have been done up very well. However, the listing didn't inform us that the bedrooms upstairs are 5ft 8inches high and so if you're taller than that you have to stoop. Also the listing doesn't inform you that you need to hire bed linin from the place where you pick up keys - as we got in later than 7:30pm our keys were in a lock-box a 5 minute walk away...that was fine, but it meant that we didn't have bed linin. Those little points are a shame, because otherwise everything was great.

Great location, cosy apartment with well equipped kitchen. Exactly as described in picture
We stayed during March’18 and had a great time. Picking up the keys was easy and location was excellant with booked parking available nearby. Literally right across the road from ESF kindergarten and Jardins meeting point for lessons and ~15meters walk up the road after skiing back. Supermarket within 5mins walk and delicious pastry shop opposite so fresh bread/cakes recommended daily to replace all the calories burned!
We found the apartment was reasonably sized with 4 adults staying and clean and tidy for the price paid. The kitchen/living area was very well equipped including raclette / fondue sets, Dulce express coffee machine and a wide selection of pots/pans. The bedrooms have TVs and all have doors and are reasonable sized including wardrobes. The apartment block is not the quietest but nothing too outrageous, just don’t be surprised with seeing a few rowdy teenagers hanging around, more a consequence of not being the most outrageously expensive area

"The apartment was very w...
"The apartment was very well situated for the slopes and the lift into the main town, although this meant there was some noise in the middle of the night from people coming home, and occasionally from inside the apartment block there was a lot of noisy people.
the apartment was beautifully decorated in savoyard style with a lovely balcony overlooking the pistes. very clean, and very well equipped with everything you need. i would stay there again."
L'appartement correspond en tous points à la description. Il a été très bien rénové. On s'y sent bien. Il est idéalement situé, tant pour skier que pour accéder au centre de la station station via la passerelle. Je recommande.
L'appartement est petit au niveau du séjour mais cosy et tres bien équipé, conformement à la description. Il est bien situé dans la station, proche de toutes commodites. Le seul inconvénient c'est le bruit exterieur en fin de soirées!
Un appartement très bien situé , près de l ESF et des pistes , d une boulangerie , de restaurants

Small apartment with second floor where you can’t stand straight
The dishwasher was broken the whole week and only fixed during the last day. I’ve asked for discount but no reaction until now.
The ceiling on the second floor is very low which means you can’t stand straight unless you bump your head.
There were enough plates, cups and glasses which was good.
We waren hier met een groep van 7 personen, en dat is erg gezellig. Het is behoorlijk klein, maar alles zit erin en alles werkte. Voor ons helemaal prima. Piste, skiverhuur en restaurants waren allemaal op maar een paar stappen afstand, fantastisch! De apres ski voor ‘s avonds was wat verder lopen (ongeveer 10-15 minuten) maar ook dat was echt prima te doen. Zeker een aanrader dit verblijf!
over all small apartment but still very functional at an amazing spot.
The kitchen was fully equipped with everything.
under the apartment there is a bakery , supermarket , ski rent and also the ski slop ....
L'appartement correspondait bien à la description et bénéficie de tout le matériel utile à votre sejour. Convient très bien à une famille avec 2 ou 3 enfants. Pour 5 Adultes, sans enfant, l'espace est restreint cependant. Recommande !
Séjour très agréable - Appartement très bien situé pour une famille avec enfants
Appartement tout confort et très agréable. A garder dans nos adresses.
Appartement optimisé. On a passé un très bon séjour, au pied des postes et de toutes les commodités.
Un peu difficile de ranger tous les habits de ski en rentrant de la journée!
Le casier à ski ne fermait pas il a été réparé le 4ème jour. Le lave-vaisselle n’avait pas été vide. La poubelle était cassée (pas grave mais j’espère qu’elle ne sera pas retenue sur la caution) papiers trouvés auprès du lit dans une chambre et le « Must » une culotte retrouvée dans le séjour derrière le rideau ! Séjour agréable somme toute ! Par contre veillez à surveiller vos équipes de ménage

Très bel appartement, vraiment bien équipé et idéalement situé pour des vacances en famille
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans cet appartement remarquablement bien équipé et bien agencé. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié: les grands placards nous permettant de ranger nos vêtements et valises, la présence de jeux de société et de livres, le grand frigo, les transats pour profiter du balcon ensoleillé, le grand casier à skis ... bref nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous. A très bientôt.
