Our family of five loved our winter escape to Chamonix. The apartment location on the pedestrian street was ideal for accessing everything we needed -- from groceries to snow-shoe equipment to vendors selling chocolat chaud. In fact, during our weeklong stay, we only used the car once to explore a gorgeous snowshoe mountain trail in nearby Vallorcine. We were able to do everything else in Chamonix on foot within a 20 minute walk of the apartment.
The accommodation is cozy and a bit outdated, but it served our needs. We enjoyed having a fireplace at the end of a day in the snow. In the winter, it was a bonus to have covered garage parking too. One of the highlights of the apartment is the views to Mont Blanc. Unfortunately due to the weather, we never did see Mont Blanc, but we did enjoy the views over the river and up the mountains.
We do agree with some other reviews regarding the beds; while the mattresses are comfortable, they really are narrow and could benefit from an update (e.g. wider beds and/or duvets). In the kitchen, it would be helpful to have a few additional items, such as an oven mitt, trivets for hot food, and some additional serving plates/bowls.
Overall, we would definitely return again if given the chance!
