Guest Reviews
Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended RecommendedIn the center of downtown Chamonix, central to all shopping, restaurants, bars, and central plaza. Perfect spot to watch the races of Marathon Du Mont-Blanc and go hiking or trail running without a need of a car. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant. We really enjoyed staying in Chamonix. The location was so amazing and a rewarding experience to see the Marathon Du Mont-Blanc races each morning from our bedroom windows.
Paul George, USA - June 2017 (AirBnB review)
Myself, my brother and two friends of ours stayed here for a week in January. The apartment is well equipped, clean and in an incredible location. We did have some problems with heating although this had been thought of by the Chamonix All Year team prior to our arrival and we were provided with electric heaters and told we only had to ask for more if we needed them (great service!). Close to ski rentals if you need them (literally the same building below the apartment), supermarket and restaurants / bars on the door step and the bus stop for the ski shuttle is a 2 minute walk away (more like 5 with ski boots / skis etc) The apartment is on the 4th floor and does have a lift although it's very small (can fit 2 people) so be prepared to potentially have to climb the 4 flights after a days skiing if the lift is busy - this wasn't a problem for us though it's just worth mentioning if someone is less mobile or struggles with stairs. There is a ski locker in the basement (although a little dusty so we kept our boots in the apartment) which was plenty large enough to store an apartments worth of guests equipment. Overall a brilliant stay and would definitely return.
Jennifer Anderson, UK - January 2017 (AirBnB review)
Месторасположение - супер! Мы в Шамони были много раз и зимой и летом, знаем город. Аппартаменты эти выбрали специально. Шикарный панорамный вид на Монблан с одной стороны и на Бревент с другой. Центральная площадь, река, фонтан, церковь, мэрия, памятник первовосходителям. Апартаменты - это квартира в старинном доме, он находится под охраной ЮНЕСКО. К нам в гости приходили друзья, которые жили в других отелях, специально чтобы сделать фото с наших балконов. Все рядом - рестораны, магазины, достопримечательности. Уличные концерты на площади можно слушать сидя на балконе. В этот раз мы были с детьми: двое взрослых и дети 5, 9 и 13 лет. Понравилась большая гостиная с диваном и деревянным столом и три спальни. Наконец-то старшая дочь могла разместиться отдельно от мелких. В апартаментах была вся кухонная утварь и много продуктов: чай, сахар, кофе, масло, специи и т.п. На каждого полный комплект полотенец и постельное белье. Номер был чисто убран. Имеются пледы и украшения номера - всякая стринная утварь и деревяшки. С персоналом общались только по электронной почте и при заезде. Все оперативно и вежливо, нам не докучали, быстро сняли блок с денежного депозита при выезде.
[Google Translate] Location - super! We were in Chamonix many times in summer and winter, know the city. Apartments chose these specifically. Gorgeous panoramic views of Mont Blanc on one side and on the other Brevent. The central square, river, fountain, church, town hall, a monument to the first conquerors. Apartment - This apartment is in an old house, it is under the protection of UNESCO. To our guests come friends who live in other hotels, especially to make the photo from our balcony. Everything is close by - restaurants, shops and attractions. Outdoor concerts on the square, you can listen to while sitting on the balcony. This time we were children: two adults and children 5, 9 and 13 years. Like a large living room with a sofa and wooden table, and three bedrooms. Finally, the eldest daughter could stay with separately from small. The apartment has all kitchen utensils and a lot of products: tea, sugar, coffee, oil, spices, etc. For each full set of towels and linens. The room was clean cleaned. There are blankets and ornaments rooms - every strinam utensils and pieces of wood. With a staff of only communicated via email and on arrival. All quickly and courteously, we were not bothered, quickly removed the unit with a cash deposit at the check-out.

Nice appartment- super location in the main street of Chamonix. Great view to the main street and the mountains from the balconies. Host met us upon arrival, after having been picked up at the AirPort by the companys transport service. Nice to be able to also rent bed and chair for our baby. All in all a very good experience.

5/5 - "Location, location, location"
This was a bit of a random rental for me since I don't know Chamonix at all and chose it mainly on the basis of the prevelance of restaurants on the map nearby. As it turns out, it overlooks the main square of the town, and couldn't be in a better place. The apartment is 2 story, with a fairly confined spiral staircase linking the bedrooms upstairs and the lounge/kitchen downstairs. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who isn't physically confident, and getting suitcases up it was a bit of a trial. The building does have a very small lift (one person plus suitcase, or two people without) which is very welcome at the end of a long day. There are three bedrooms, two reasonably sized doubles and a third which is just big enough for a bunk bed. Bathroom is upstairs and includes a bath with shower, which is nice, and there is an additional toilet downstairs. Unlike a few apartments I've stayed in, we had some basic provisions provided (toilet paper, some milk in the fridge and so forth) which made a pleasant surprise. We really enjoyed ourselved staying here while ranging out around the local ski areas.

Such a great 10 days. were welcomed by the host on arrival with a quick walkthrough of all things necessary. super friendly and offered us help whenever we needed it. Honestly u cannot get a better located apartment in Chamonix. right in the centre, top floor (4th floor) overlooking the city and a stones throw from the brevent lifts and the chamonix central bus stop. even though its in the centre u don't hear the people in town at all. good nights sleep. will definitely look to come again.
