Nice apartments

Great location. The ski lift is nearby and within walking distance. It's a 5-minute walk to the center, and a short walk back up the hill. The apartment has everything you need. Plenty of dishes. Small, cozy apartments.

We love chamonix

The apartment is good. We were 4 people and probability it is perfect for 2 people. The beds were not so comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. The view from the terrace is amazing. The apartment is very close to all.

Daltons appartment

Good appartment 10 minutes walk from centre of town. Only downside we could find was that the bedroom is at street level on a corner and it could be quite noisy in the early hours as people come back home or head off for early starts on the mountain (it was a hot summer week and we had to sleep with the window open - in winter this wouldn't be an issue). The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped with the only issue being that the bed badly needs a new mattress - when we stayed there was a thin mattress fitted on top of the main mattress and it made the bed very lumpy and uneven.
Two minor points - everything else was great!

Une semaine idéale.

Ma femme et moi avons vraiment passé un excellent séjour dans l'appartement la Saleina! Le descriptif et toutes les explications reçues avant notre séjour étaient vraiment utiles et montrent le sérieux de l'organisme.
L'appartement est très propre, très bien équipé et bien situé, à 2 minutes du centre ville et au pied de la télé-cabine du Brévent.
Le vidéo projecteur est un lus, tout comme la machine à laver et le sèche linge.
Seul petit bémol et pour être exigeant, la literie est particulière à mon goût, et une couette un peu plus grande aurait été parfaite!

Dans tous les cas, je recommande, et je reviendrai très certainement.

La Saleina - Great all round place to stay in Chamonix

Very nice clean, bright, well positioned apartment 5 minutes from the centre but far enough away to not be disturbed.
The owners have clearly done more than just leave an empty shell like some apartments are, and it feels like home.
The balcony is great, views of Les Drus, the Aiguilles, Mont Blanc and over the town. Interesting to watch the various people wandering up and down the hill from the balcony.
Plenty of hot water etc good shower and the knives are actually sharp which is amazing for a rental property. Nice windows looking up the valley towards Argentiere direction and La Floria Chalet - when the white flag is flying they are open. There is a telescope to see this.
The projector/screen etc are fine, bluetooth tv sound a little complicated but everything worked. Washing machine/tumble dryer both modern and clean.
2 mins from town one way, 2 mins from the Brevent lift the other way, so you're halfway up a small hill, ideal position.
Nothing bad at all, the owners have good taste and its a top apartment.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Good Value

First and foremost I'll try to be as impartial as I can be in this review. We stayed at the La Saleina Apartment for 2 weeks. It is ideal for 2 people. It has all the amenities a person could ask for in an apartment (the kitchen is very well equipped). It could use a bit of minor repairs (shower leaking at the bottom of the doors, could use a fresh coat of paint, and the big rug in the living room could be replaced), but other than that, the apartment is in good shape. Having a washer and dryer made our life a lot easier (they work very good). The location of the apartment is great, it is approximately 500 m. to Joseph Vallot St. (the pedestrian street). You are only a 10min. walk to the train station, or going the other way about a 12min. to Aiguile du Midi. One thing to keep in mind, this apartment is locate on a hill. The location might be an issue for somebody who has difficulty walking or limited mobility. Another thing to consider about the location is how close the apartment is to the street and how close the bedroom is to the street. As mentioned, the apartment is on a hill, the bedroom is located on the hilly side, so people coming down from the street can see right inside the bedroom and if they stop by the apartment their heads are almost level to the bottom of the bedroom window. The apartment is not located on the side of the sidewalk, but during the 2 weeks, we were woken by people standing on the corner of our apartment 8 or 9 nights. You hear everything!!! If you're a heavy sleeper or are used to the street noise, then this would not be an issue. I gave a 4 for cleanliness because I had to vacuumed the area rug within the first few hours we had moved in. It had not been properly vacuumed, and the shower drain was clogged with hair. I had to clean it twice, or else the water would have overflowed out of the shower. The people from CAY are very responsive and are easy to deal with. We ran out of propane for the stove on Saturday evening, Sunday morning somebody came to replace it. During our first week, we had a mouse come into the apartment, the next day a maintenance guy took care of it. Overall, we would return we had a good experience. 8/10

Wk 12, 2022.

We had a fantastic stay in La Saleina during week 12. The apartment was well equipped, in god shape and with a very nice interior.

The location close to Brevant and Chamonix Centre was very quiet.
Only small drawback we can think of is the uphill going home from Centre, but a minor problem
