Exceptionally well located property, which made our stay, with youths, really easy and enjoyable.
The pro:
In the heart of the ski resort- Rue de Caron with everything you need from ski rentals to bakery and supermarket less than 20 feet away
Ski in ski out
Restaurants, crêpes, gaufres at bottom of building
Parking lot across the street from locker area
Appartement comfortable enough for a family of 4/5, large bunkbeds room, great wifi, easy check in and out
Great communication with owner
Apartment very calm despite having bedroom window opened at night, a bowling alley at the end if the street and a large group of youths from Ireland partying all night. The insonorisation of the building is well done because we did not hear anything.
Apartment equipped as mentioned in vrbo website (2 bathrooms, dishwasher, small fridge, coffee maker, etc) no washer and dryer neither in apartment nor onsite (vrbo mentions they are available)
Cons
Double room does not have a window and getting air circulated was a challenge in the room - we ended up all staying in the bunkbeds room as the window could open, which worked well for us.
Kitchen area is small and shared with coats/shoes area so it can get crowded.
Ski locker does not have shelves for ski boots so those have to be taken to the apartment
Overall we had a lovely stay and the apartment was a good size for our family. It would have been difficult to accommodate a larger group for 7 days as the main area is small. We had friends over for dinner one night and accommodating 7 people was tight.
It was our first visit to Val Thorens. The resort is beautiful and our stay was definitely a success.
