had a great 1 week stay at this well-equipped apartment in Les Houches - very comfortable and well-appointed for 3-4 people.
very quiet with fantastic view !
only small drawback is if you have a car the garage is not the most conveniently located and no parking outside of the apartment - but otherwise I highly recommend this apartment and would stay again if I return to Les Houches :)

Thank you for your 5* appreciation. Renters from overseas often find Europe charming but not always practical :-) Luckily you can drive up to the Chalet, unload your luggage or shopping, before parking further down the Residence.
Mycket bra boende för vår familj och vi är väldigt nöjda. Mysig ort och bra skidsystem som ligger nära lägenheten.
Lätt att få kontakt med ägaren som dessutom är mycket gästvänlig.

Great Condo and Fabulous Resort
This was my first time to the Chamonix Valley so I wasn't familiar with the Les Houches area or ski resort. First, the property was perfect for my wife and daughter. It looks exactly like the photos and was ski-in/ski-out to the Prarion Gondola just west of the property. Although there was only one bathroom, the toilette shares a separate room with the washer/dryer; so it was manageable with my wife and daughter. The condo is well equipped and has everything you need, including a French Press (first time I used one). It's super clean and the hosts were fantastic. Restaurants, market and rental shops are nearby, but a car is necessary to access them as well as the village of Chamonix a few kilometers away. I would come again and highly recommend to my friends. Second, the Les Houches ski resort is a well kept secret. Although it is referred to as a "family resort", the face is home to the Kandahar Men's Downhill run - 3 KM top to bottom; 3,000+ vertical feet and has variety of slopes for all abilities. The snow was great, the runs were long and on-mountain services were well staffed and friendly. Most important, no crowds or lift lines! Although we only skied one day, you could easily ski three or more and not get bored.

Great little flat, good location in Les Houches
My family of four, including boys 5 and 7, had a great week in Les Houches. The flat was perfect for us, has been recently renovated and was very clean and well provisioned. Anna was very helpful with her communications from the point we booked until the end of our stay. Both ski lifts and some bars and restaurants within 10 mins walk. Undercover parking a bonus, having a car in the Chamonix valley gives you lots of options for skiing at different places. I would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be back!

Formidable
Superbe appartement au pied des pistes (accessibles directement en sortant par la terrasse) avec une vue magnifique sur toute la vallée de Chamonix. Les matériaux nobles, le confort et la propreté des lieux ont fait que notre expérience a été vraiment parfaite. Je recommande cet appartement que je louerai certainement à nouveau été comme hiver!

Awesome location and spotless, modern appartment
Anna and Philippe are great hosts that made you feel welcome and well taken care of, from we booked the apartment until we left. They provided detailed information in writing about everything and great recommendations of restaurants and what to do, and were available to answer questions (by email or phone) during the process.
The apartment is located very close to the center of town and the 2 slopes, and ideally on top of the hill with a beautiful view. The residence is small and the units nicely spread out, so you have lost of privacy.
The owners have done a beautiful job renovation and decoration the space, everything is in top shape and it has a nice and modern touch to it, yet homely.
We would not hesitate to recommend this venue, and will definitely be back soon.
