We felt right at home in this apartment and enjoyed the huge balcony with a beautiful view of Mont Blanc. It had a nice, large dining table, sun loungers, and a lounge sofa. The mattresses and bedding were comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and cookware. The living room was cozy. The small room with the two twin beds had curtains that let in plenty of light in the morning.

Such a great stay this past weekend… if you want a view with your morning coffee this place will not disappoint. One of the best views we saw the entire trip!!
Generally a really good experience. Stunning views and easy parking arrangements. We had a couple of issues with appliances but these didn't detract from our stay and manager was available in person/via phone to assist.

Fantastic location
Wonderful location the highlight being the massive sun terrace. Very comfortable. The only fault is that it could do with a really good clean . Cobwebs on ceiling and the cooker hood was filthy. We would definitely return.

Hi Julie
We were gutted to hear that the apartment wasn't clean enough and we have asked the staff responsible to go back and give it a deep clean. Had you let us know about these issues we would have sent the cleaners straight round to re-clean the apartment.
I'm really glad to read that the cobwebs and cooker hob did not distract from your holiday experience too much and you would rebook. I hope you do, as we would like the opportunity to see how the apartment is developing.
Thanks for staying and reviewing.

Amazing views from this apartment!
Our stay at this apartment was outstanding! The views from the rooftop deck were fabulous. Close to town and with the Côte card, was able to ride the train as many times as you want. Be aware, however, that you must exit the train before the last stop or you will be charged a fare! You can always hop back on when the next train comes. We did not and ended up paying 27 euros for about a mile trip. The apartment has everything you need, very neat and tidy. You will not regret your stay!

Amazing View!!
Well equipped apartment, clean and tidy. The view and outside space is amazing! Loved sitting out in the evening and enjoying the view.
Had a car issue when we were there and the lady managing this apartment was very helpful even though it wasn’t really a problem with the apartment.
The only negative was we were a family of 4, the second bedroom which had two single beds in it pretty small and has a window with no blind or curtain onto the dining room. Meant our teenage daughter didn’t have much privacy and used our bedroom to get changed. The bathroom also has a large window looking out onto some flats also without any curtains so you felt quite exposed! Only a small thing but a couple of blinds would make such a difference. Definitely book again though!

Convenient
The view, the lay-out of the apartment and the ease for parking. The place was very well heated and the beds were comfortable. Washing machine ws also very convenient.
The kitchen is well equipped but the dishwasher needs repair. It works but it seems that the tray belong to an other dishwasher and is difficult to keep stable.

Très bel emplacement avec une vue à couper le souffle sur la montagne ! La terrasse est top ! En dehors de ça, nous trouvons que les photos sur l'annonce sont trompeuses et ont été prises il y a peut être un moment. cet appartement mérite d'avoir un bon rafraichissement car il tombe un petit peu en ruine... (Store de travers, le four qui n'a plus de poignée, matelas un peu usé, impact sur la plaque de cuisine, les tiroirs qui s'ouvrent pas correctement, il manque des poignées de fenêtre, très très peu de possibilités de rangements, le "dressing" qui sent le renfermé etc) Nous avons eu une serviette chacun pour 2 semaines... c'est dommage !La configuration de cet appart est bizarre (salle de bain au fond de la cuisine, la deuxième chambre est une extension de terrasse pas bien isolée, ..etc) mais bon c'est pas grave en soi ! Pour information, il faut marcher une bonne vingtaine de minutes pour aller au centre ville de Chamonix (un peu moins si vous marchez vite). possibilité de prendre le bus ou le TER pas loin ! Autrement, il y a un lac très sympathique juste au pied de la résidence avec un petit parc ! à 2 min, il y a des possibilités de faire de l'escalade, accrobranche et balade ! 5min en voiture il y a un super U, une boulangerie et une boucherie. c'est très pratique! On a passé un bon séjour malgré tout mais on ne reviendra pas. Bonne continuation

Très bel appartement
Très bel appartement, spacieux avec probablement la plus belle vue de Chamonix sur le Mont Blanc. La terrasse est magnifique. Nous avons adoré.
Nous avons simplement regretté un électro ménager trop vétuste au regard du standing de l’appartement.

Super logement
Le logement est super, conforme à ce qui est décrit sur l’annonce, vu magnifique, logement propre.
De plus l’équipe de chamonix homes notamment Becky était très disponible pour nous aider !
Je recommande cet appartement pour votre séjour à chamonix.
15/20min à pied du centre ville, station de bus qui passe juste devant l’appartement c’est super!
Great property, 10 minute walk to Chamonix centre, we used the quiet back road to walk in. Very comfortable apartment, well equipped, amazing view of Mont Blanc from the very large terrace! Excellent communication both pre visit and during our stay - all in resort queries answered immediately - we were able to stay in the apartment until 6pm due to late transfer out of Chamonix and no-one booked in that night - a great way to end the holiday! Highly recommend both the apartment and Chamonix!
Geweldig, het terras en het uitzicht is niet te verslaan!
Fijn ruim appartement, alles prima. Het terras is werkelijk fantastisch: groot, met zonnescherm, ligstoelen e.d. en met een geweldig mooi uitzicht op de Mont Blanc en het bergmassief. Met de verrekijker kun je zelfs de bergbeklimmers spotten.
Ik hoop hier nog eens terug te komen!

Aucune armoire disponible pour ranger nos vêtements.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 March 2020
Nous avons été très désolés d'apprendre que ces clients n'ont pas apprécié l'appartement et nous avons été surprisé d'entendre leurs commentaires négatifs, car cet appartement a été rénové en novembre 2017.
Nous sommes conscients que nous devons ajouter plus de stockage de vêtements à la deuxième chambre à coucher, mais l'appeler un jardin d'hiver semble plutôt excessif. Beaucoup de clients préfèrent rester dans la deuxième chambre, car il a une meilleure vue sur les montagnes et la pièce est bien chauffée.
Le balcon, qui est considéré par de nombreux clients d’être la caractéristique la plus forte de l'appartement, a été sous la neige ces derniers mois, il est donc tout à fait possible que les déchets laissés par les invités précédents, puis recouverts de neige, soient entrés vue lorsque la neige fond. Nous sommes toujours disponibles pour envoyer des nettoyeurs dans le cas où nos clients trouveraient l'une de nos propriétés ne pas être à la hauteur de leurs normes. Malheureusement, une fois les invités partis, nous ne pouvons pas faire grand-chose pour remédier à ces problèmes.
De même, en ce qui concerne l'absence d'une fondue dans l'appartement, nous aurions heureusement apporté un s’ils ont demandé.
Nous espérons que les clients potentiels qui envisagent Appartement Gaillands North regarder plus loin que cette seule critique 2 étoiles au moment de décider s'ils veulent rester ici.
Les photos de l'appartement ont été prises en Décembre 2017 et montrent l'état actuel de l'appartement après la rénovation en Novembre 2017 et la propriété à 4.6 / 5 avec 16 avis de voyageurs, qui, nous espérons, montre la satisfaction que la majorité de nos clients ont avec leurs séjours à l'appartement.
----------------------------
We were very sorry to hear that these guests didn’t enjoy the apartment and were surprised to hear their negative feedback, as this apartment was renovated and refurbished in November 2017.
We are aware that we need to add more clothes storage to the second bedroom, but to call it a winter garden seems rather excessive. Many guests prefer to stay in the second bedroom, as it has better views of the mountains and the room is well heated.
The balcony, which is considered by many guests to be the strongest feature of the apartment, has been under snow for the last few months, so it is entirely possible that rubbish left by previous guests, and then covered in snow, has been coming into view as the snow melts. We are always available to send

Very spacious and well thought out.
They weren’t exaggerating when they said this apartment has the best view of the Chamonix Valley from the massive roof top terrace – absolutely stunning. I don’t think the photos really show how spacious it is.
It was clean and well maintained. It was obvious that the owners of the apartment had actually stayed there themselves as everything worked and was well thought out. I’ve stayed in many apartments where there quite simply isn’t enough space. You could live quite comfortably in this apartment. The beds were comfortable and there was space to hang cloths.
For once there was good quality bedding and towels. When you arrive by plane, no bedding or paper bedding which seems to the norm in French ski accommodation these days is just so not acceptable, and as for having to take home damp towels in your luggage...The bedding and towels
provided for us were therefore much appreciated and made the apartment look homely as soon as we walked in.
The kitchen was big enough and well equipped to cook proper meals. Having stayed in French ski apartments where they can't even be bothered to provide the basics like a cork screw, scissors or matching wine glasses it was great to find everything provided. The bathroom had enough space to move and have a nice soak in the bath after a big day out. For once in a French ski apartment I didn’t feel like a sardine.
Well done, we’re saving up already for our next holiday with you.

Chamonix Les Gaillands Penthouse apt
We had a great time and the apt. was very convenient to town and areas for walking the dogs. There is a small lake next door and trails across the street that were perfect. Very clean and well maintained. Had no issues and arrived with a very clean apt. ready for vacationing. A cute little bar across the street which has good food and drinks, Hotel Vert. Would certainly stay here again.
