PROMO Appart 5pers plein centre station avec 2SDB

On the positive side, this apartment is in a really central location. Everything is super close: two well-stocked supermarkets, lots of restaurants, shops and bars. You can walk out the front door, put on your skis and ski right down to three chair lifts at the bottom of the hill. There is also a charming old-fashioned carousel right across from the apartment that our 6-year-old daughter loved.

On the other hand, the building is in serious need of renovation. It looks kind of shabby, has no security whatsoever (anyone can just walk in) and perhaps as a result strange odors of various kinds wafted through the hallways during our entire trip. People seem to just randomly leave their trash wherever they want.

The biggest problem, however, is the noise. Since the house is right on the main road of Avoriaz, there were drunk revelers walking right under our window at all hours of the night screaming at the top of their lungs. I don't consider myself to be a particularly light sleeper but I was woken up several times at 4am. Overall I would strongly recommend against renting this apartment unless you are planning to go out and party late every night.

On top of this, the apartment was advertised as having wifi but it didn't work for the entire length of our stay. The landlord suggest we use the crowded, raucous bar a few doors down but that wasn't a very tempting option for me as I had to get some work done during the trip. As a result, I spent quite a lot of mobile data charges instead.

It would have been nice to get some compensation from the landlord for this, but I am getting used to the fact that French hosts will never take any responsibility if their rental doesn't live up to the description. I've had one host refuse to provide a copy of the key ("it's not our fault, the previous tenant left with the other key!"), another refuse to compensate us for deafening construction in the apartment above that had apparently been going on for weeks but was not mentioned in the listing ("it's not our fault if someone else is renovating their flat!") and this one for not providing wifi that was promised in the listing ("it's not our fault if the internet provider has a technical issue!").

So I'm giving a generous 3 star rating and chalking that one up to the unavoidable realities of renting a flat in France. It's not their fault!

Very Nice appartement and easy collection of keys and other info’s. A perfect stay with 2 adultes and 2 children age 11 and 13. 100% ski in, ski out.

Ottimo appartamento situato in centro , molto comodo per 4 persone grazie all'angolo letti a castello e ai due bagni . Ben accessoriato e curato nei particolari. Sicuramente tornerei in questo appartamento.
