Had great stay in the village. Perfect for a short break. Keith was really helpful and made the stay very easy. Apartment is a little dated but in perfect location.
Absolute fantastic apartment a couple hundred meters from the bubble and shops.The property is basic, has parking, but all you need to allow you access to the slopes. Would recommend and will definitely return. The Owner Keith was extremely helpful and accommodating for our trip.
A great little apartment in a lovely spot. Route des Grandes Alpes is close by but this is a busy road.
Lots to do in the surrounding area but we found we needed a car.
Very enjoyable break.
We had a fantastic stay in St Jean d’Aulps. The apartment is in a great location within walking distance of the bars, shops, restaurants and ski hire and with good snow you can ski to/from the cable car. We are a family of 5 so we were a bit tight on space but knew that before booking. The local ski school ESF is excellent.
Good location and everything you need for a quiet ski holiday in a lovely small resort. Ideal for family with two kids. Double bed was a bit small for two adults used to a king size so I slept on the sofa bed which was really comfortable.
Comfortable, in all areas. Create property and very close to town center and slopes.

Great location and value for money
I have just returned from the property having spent a short 4 night break in St. Jean D'Aulps. The property is in a nice quiet location, you can see the ski gondola from the balcony. Although we didn't ski the local area it is perfectly placed for Morzine/Avoriaz (10 mins) and Les Gets (15 mins). I have however skied the local area before this trip and the apartment is perfectly located for that.
The apartment is cosy, warm and ideal for a few people. It sleeps 6 but I think that would be a struggle at meal times personally - there were 3 of us (1 child) and it was ideal. The shower was good and the water hot, ideal after a hard day on the snow. The Apartment is in easy walking distance of local bars and restaurants/shops. The kitchenette is basic but does the job and there are plenty of plates/cutlery/cups etc. For shopping there is a local store 5 minutes walk, we however drove 5 minutes to the bigger Carrefour on the way to Morzine.
To be honest for the money I can't fault the apartment, it's in a perfect location, quiet, clean and comfortable. Keith the owner was very helpful throughout the whole thing and I would definitely consider using the apartment again in the future.

Everything you could need
If you want a well-priced, well equipped, small but homely place to chill and relax, I would recommend this apartment. Keith was really helpful in directing us to it and, on arriving, we found that it was a great little resort with all the amenities you could need, You can walk to the Main Gondola in under a minute, it has local bars and a wee supermarket you can get most groceries (inc. Belgian Beer..... nuff said). The accommodation is clean, tidy and affords great views out over the Morzine Valley. We stayed with our 2 and 4 year old who loved being in the bunk beds, while we loved the privacy to chill out on a night in the separate living space. We cooked every night and it was fine for space to do this and dine together. I may add that this gem of a find comes with a very select range of DVD's and Videos (remember them). Joking aside, it was a welcome novelty which only reinforced my love for this wee spot in France. Sleeps 4 or 6 at a push. Ski on your doorstep or only 10 mins drive to Morzine. Bravo Keith!

Un séjour très agréable dans ce petit appartement idéalement placé et abordable dans cette vallée par ailleurs assez chère. Un lieu idéal pour la famille à deux pas de la grande station d'avoriaz et aux pieds des pistes du Roc d'enfer ! Merci à Keith !
Merci à Keith pour toutes ses informations, précisions ainsi que sa réactivité. Un appartement très confortable à la hauteur de nos espérances. Nous reviendrons !!!
Malgré le manque de neige nous avons pu accéder au sommet des pistes et profiter de la station. Dommage que les travaux au pied de l'immeuble gachent un peu la vue mais c'est temporaire. L'appartement est très bien équipé
