    Cosy space, great location, nice view from balcony. Very central to the town, can walk to bus station in 5 minutes.

    Check in process very poor - disorganised and time consuming. Check in time of 4pm and check out time of 10am is crazy. Had to do all of the cleaning before leaving, strip beds, empty bins, do dishes, I have never encountered this on booking before, only on Airbnb. No hand soap, dish soap, shower gel or shampoo provided. Shower was very slow to drain, maximum a few minutes before it would spill into bathroom and there was never enough hot water for two people to shower. Cigarette butts on the balcony from previous guests. Too warm at night to have the windows closed but the noise from the square below was very loud. Every night from 1-3am there were lots of people in the square. No AC.

    Thank you for your feedback, though we feel it's important to clarify several points. First, check-in time is clearly stated as 16:00 on your Booking.com reservation, and yet you arrived at 12:30, repeatedly messaging and insisting to access the apartment early. Despite being in the middle of a busy season — where we work extremely hard to clean and prepare everything on time — we managed to have your unit ready by 15:00, a full hour earlier than the official check-in time. We even have time-stamped photos to confirm this. Throughout your arrival, we were in constant communication and did our best to accommodate your requests — which we believe reflects a high level of responsiveness and service. Regarding the check-out process: we simply send a friendly reminder to leave the apartment in a respectful and hygienic condition, such as removing trash, doing the dishes, and stripping the beds. These are basic acts of courtesy, especially toward the cleaning staff — and not unique to Airbnb, but common practice in many short-term rentals. As for the amenities: hand soap, shower gel, toilet paper, and basic cleaning products were indeed provided, as they are for every guest. If anything was missing, a simple message would have allowed us to resolve it immediately — but we received no such request during your stay. About the bathroom drainage and water heater: these were not reported during your stay either, which would have given us the opportunity to address the issue on the spot. We encourage open communication while guests are on-site, not only after departure. Finally, the building is located in the center of Chamonix, a vibrant alpine town — especially in high season. While there is no air conditioning (something clearly stated in the listing), we understand that external noise and heat can vary depending on each guest’s sensitivity. We remain committed to offering a clean, well-located, and fairly-priced accommodation — and we always appreciate constructive feedback when it is accurate and respectful.

    Excellent location right by the Aguille du Midi gondola. The view from the balcony is exceptional. Comfy bed, close to all the restaurants and shops. Super cosy little studio

    Perfect location for snow in the heart of chamonix village. It has all the amenities you need and the host was fantastic at communicating when we were there. Alot of thought and effort has been put into the decor and renovation. Was so nice to have our own cooking facilities and a washing machine too!

    Very close to main attractions, walking distance to everything, very clean. Very reaponsive and supportive host. Thank you Adriana for the hospitality.

    pretty complicated instructions. But host is very responsive on WhatsApp.

    This is a compact studio unit with a double bed. It's located on the 3rd floor and there's an elevator. The building is located right opposite the Aiguille Du Midi station and about 5-10 mins walk to the heart of Chamonix. The unit is well equipped and has just about everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed was medium firm and suited me. The wifi was also reasonably fast. At night it was quiet and peaceful. I also liked that it had a balcony with views towards Mont Blanc and Aiguille Du Midi. You collect the keys from a security box outside the building and the manager will send you the code before you check in. I enjoyed my stay here.

    Unlike most places where the wi-fi id and password are printed or displayed somewhere, here you need to click the 'i' button on the router box in order to get the info. There was also no shampoo or bath gel provided in the shower; there was a bottle of hand wash by the sink though. They should also put a tray in the shower cubicle so that there is a place to put your soap/shampoo etc. But overall these are small niggles for me.

    Property response:

    Thank you for your feedback! Just to clarify — the Wi-Fi information is not printed because it's directly accessible on the router by simply pressing the same small button twice, and this is clearly explained in the access instructions we send in advance. We don't believe it's too complicated — just a quick tap! 😊 As for the bathroom: shower gel is always provided, and while there's no tray, placing it on the floor is a simple solution for a short stay — not ideal, but certainly manageable. We appreciate your comments and are glad to hear these were only minor inconveniences for you.

    Great location, very comfy bed and had a cute little patio. It had a lift which was 🙏🏼 It was very clean and tidy, it just felt a bit hostelly. it’s a fab location so if they did it up a bit I’ve no doubt they could be charging much more. Good value for money, Chamonix in general I’d just craft over priced. very helpful host!

    There was no lounge so you had to sit at the table or be on the bed. Toilet paper was terrible so we bought our own.

    fantastic location, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable pillows

    no WiFi, not enough towels

    Property response:

    Hello Michael, your booking had 2 big towels and 2 small towels since the booking was made for 2 people which is the maximum capacity of the apartment. I'm sorry you wanted more than that. Regards, Adriana.
