Location was ok
Unfortunately one of our rooms had been newly painted, definitely not pleasant and I think they should have warned us about this when I first made the booking a month prior. No excuses, they should have let me know. That was very disappointing.

Convenient to ski fields and CHC airport
We spent one night and found the room to be overcrowded with stuff not useful to us--eg we needed more room for packing and sorting than for large screen, electronic stuff etc. Staff were a little too chatty, but having said that, the small studio was clean, the owners very pleasant.
