The size of the apartment is not as big as it looks on the website pictures, unless you are a Hobbit (dwarf). That applies to the sitting area in the main room (the sitting bench against the left wall) but moreover for the second bedroom where you can only crawl into your bed (4 beds I think). That bedroom is on the attic, which can only be reached via a ladder (that has to be moved if you want to access the bathroom). Although clean, the bathroom had a terrible smell at arrival (anyway, ventilation in both the bathroom and toilet, and the whole apartment for that matter, is limited). With help of our own ventilator we were able to get most of the smell away. The kitchen (held all mentioned equipment and tonsils but) is extremely small (can hold only one person). Some cooking pans were very old; the teflon layer was damaged (which is unhealthy to use). Access to the balcony is .... via a window ... in the first bedroom. This was dangerous, especially when stepping back into the room (a big step with no place to hold on to). As the separation on the balcony with the neighbors at no. 52 is very low/limited, noise and smoke from those neighbors very easily drifted to our balcony. Not something you expect, as there is the clear instruction for our accommodation that smoking is prohibited. More over it proved that the owners of no. 52 (or their relatives) where smoking pot (canabis/mariuana) all the time. And their times of being up and and about was from about 12 noon till at least 4 in the night/morning. Making not that much noise (talking/laughing) but just enough to keep us awake all nights . To be sure; they were not accidental inhabitants of apartment 52 ! (as was the excuse of "Happy Holidays") but regular users/owners of that apartment. Both the f2f contact at arrival and departure with Happy Holidays was short and not really friendly.
Argentière is a great place to go; from everywhere beautiful views and enough activities (walking routes) nearby. The apartment is on a 10 min walk from the railway-station, so you can reach the rest of the Chamonix valley very easy. The swimming pool at the site is basic but nice and with a proper lawn around and well kept. The whole apartment was clean (but see remark on the bathroom).

We should have been told of this accessibility issue as we are all about 70 years old. We managed with difficulties. The photographs gave no indication of this The sofas were set right back under a very low ceiling. That too was disguised in the photos. My gust is over 2 metres tall I think the photos were very misleading The oven was impossible to work and there were no instructions in English
