Great to settle in to for a good length of time.

Very relaxing. Very well equipped home away from home. Great access to lifts for easy walking up top and a peaceful small lake to enjoy nearby. Perhaps a little too much travel on crowded buses if you are going to chamonix almost daily for Cosmo events (only 4 star rating) as we were. Otherwise 5 star. Local manager was terrific for communication with a personal touch. Would recommend highly.

Perfect location. Close to lifts and supermarket.

Fantastic location! The apartment is just a 5 minute walk to the Belle Vue cable car. The village centre with a choice of a few restaurants & bars is close by and it's a 10 minute walk to the supermarket. The apartment is well equipped with everything you could need for a self catering holiday including a washing machine, which was very handy. If you like to cook there's good knives, pans and plenty of crockery and cutlery etc. Great views from the lounge balcony. Although on the main road through Les Houches, the apartment is very quiet at night and we had no problems sleeping. The apartment was lovely and warm with loads of hot water and was very clean. There were just two of us and the apartment was plenty big enough. The bunk beds looked very comfortable but as they are located in the spacious hallway, would probably be suited to a family with children or 2 couples who know each other really well. There is also a sofa bed in the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Everything you need is here including TV. DVD player, selection of films, games and fast wifi connection. We love Les Houches and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Etat et lieux

Appartement agréable et fonctionnel ,avec très belle vue sur l'égaille du midi . bien implanté dans le village , proches des remontées , difficulté de garder les fenêtres ouvertes ,surtout la nuit, car le bruit de la national reste important . Il y des progrès a faire sur le ménage , canapé très fragile , la hotte aspirante à des odeurs de graisse ;( filtres ) A part ces petits détails , cela reste tr"s positif , sans regret , à conseiller .
