Great location with Caveats
4th floor apt in the heart of Chamonix Center across from the main train station. Across the street from the only live music/dance club so it's loud but they don't play late so it's not that big of an issue. Elevator access to unit so that was very welcome. Grocery store and great pastry shop very close as well as all other shopping. The apartment itself had it's pluses and minuses. The bathroom situation is a bit odd whereas the master has an en suite however, they don't have a shower in that bathroom but rather a tub with a handheld spray. Kind of useless. The bunk room has the only shower but also has the laundry so having others use it where it's someone else's room is inconvenient. Thankfully we had spring like temps otherwise the place would be really cold. They used a small standalone electric space heater in the main room which even with our mild temps had issues keeping up with heating. Next to no supplies provided (sugar, oil, coffee, filters, wood for fireplace, etc.).
It's all about location as it's located central to most everything.
Easy walk to buses and not that far of a walk to Brevent/Flagere gondola. Very close walk to the Mer Du Glace train to glacier.
