    Nothing - we loved it!

    Great character-filled property, nestled in a very strategic part of Chamonix, for access to the main shops and restaurants, as well as close to the main station, the Montenvers station, the Luge / them park and the Olympic facilities. There’s even a bakery of good quality on the opposite side of the block the apartment is within - very convenient in the mornings! The parking included on site makes this property even more convenient. The apartment is very secure and was lovingly kept. Great scenery from the bedroom windows and the balcony. Very helpful and kind host too. Great communication with us via the app.

    We couldn't make the washing machine work. Host was going to have it checked after our stay. Host was very responsive on the problem.

    Very well appointed apartment with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Liked the tea and coffee provided, plenty of dishwasher detergent. Comfortable beds.

    Unclear expectations for pet friendliness. We were charged 10 Euros/night for our small dog which didn't do anything in the apartment and no special dog specific arrangements were available either. On the other hand baby crib where a crib has to be brought and installed only costs 5 euros/night. Seemed unfair.

    Proximity to the city center and comes with parking. Most restaurants are within walking distance. Convenient for buses/public transport as well for ski lift connections. Views from the house are amazing as well.

    Great location and parking / facilities. Lovely useful items and little extras like hand soap and tissues etc left in this self catering property. Very spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back!

    It was very difficult to find when we first arrived. We mistakenly thought it was a house and the actual building wasn’t as well marked for travellers unfamiliar with the town. We walked in circles for a time. Once we found it though, it was fine

    Very spacious, clean and well equipped. Central location was perfect for walking.

Great location, especially with delicious bakery ‘La Panier’ directly underneath which was great for breakfast and sweet treats! Host very helpful, especially assisting with luggage storage after our check out.

    Manager was not very friendly on arrival, and required £400 cash deposit, which was concerning at first. We did receive all money back, but check-out was very labor intensive to have the property cleaned very well after stay to ensure we received money back.

    Very clean and neat. Great location!

    Not really much to complain about, and it would be more trivial rather than serious. Minor issues such as the slow WiFi connection speed, which I understand is due to Chamonix not yet have high speed fibre access. Something which is outside the control of Grey Squirrel Home. One other minor detail that needs to be sorted to the benefit of future guests. The deposit of €500......I had to pay was rather than bank transfer. The €500 was returned to me without issue, however I have now returned to the UK with these additional euro's!......There must be a better way of securing the deposit!

    The apartment was situated next to the best baker / coffee shop (La Panier) in Chamonix. Fantastic food at reasonable cost. So breakfast was never a problem!.......The apartment itself was very roomy, clean and fresh. There was no signs of previous misuse, and it contained all the modern facilities required. The beds were really comfortable, and a good night sleep was always guaranteed. The apartment was also well located, near to the centre of the town. The railway station being only a 5-minute walk away. The apartment was also very secure with a robust main door (keypad) entry system. Lift access or stairs to the 2nd floor was also an option. Everything was near perfect with this apartment and we couldn't have been more happy than we were with out host (Micheline). All in all, My wife and I would be more than happy to book Grey Squirrel Home again for a future stay.

    Uncomfortable because of rudeness

    The manager was the rudest I’ve ever had staying at any property around the world. She was abrasive and complained that I didn’t give her sufficient notice about when I was coming despite the property claiming to having a “24 hour front desk”. This is not true… there is just one very angry and rude woman that showed up to let me in and lecture me after I had been awake and traveling for 36 hours to see my daughter. Apparently, they send you an email you have to look out for apart from the instructions from booking.com which we followed. It’s a bizarre and poorly communicated process in the modern world where most of these things should be automated (I have short term rental properties myself, am a super host on Airbnb, and would never subject my guests to this treatment) When it was time to leave, she hovered over us watching my daughter move her bags out of the apartment and made several rude comments. While the property itself was adequate, this woman made the stay very unpleasant. I do not typically leave reviews, but she made us uncomfortable enough that I thought it was worth mentioning to other guests in case they wanted to avoid such an interaction.

    Location was great and very central
