I've stayed a few times at Val D' Isere over the years and this unit is the newest by far, and extremely clean throughout. No neighbor noise adjacent or above during my stay. There are steps down the back that now provide a shortcut to main street (handrail use advised, as it can fill in with snow). Temperature control easy/accurate. I think it is functionally quite spacious and well lit for the stated square feet. Tolerable 10 minute walk in ski boots to/from Gondola; about as close as you can get and still have peace and quiet in the evening. When traffic gums Breckenridge roads/buses to a standstill, you can walk home while those farther away shiver in the cold waiting. Reasonable walk to City Market/Windy River Pizza, several equipment rental/repairs, brewpubs, enough restaurants. Taken together, this particular rental does not require either a rental vehicle or a bus to enjoy. Beyond having to wait a few minutes for shower/sink water to warm on the coldest neg -10 days, and a bit of whistling under the front door (which is mitigated by a rolled towel) on windy days; there are no unusuals at this rental. If you need ice, turn on the fridge icemaker (don't need to leave it on whole trip). Highly recommended for 1-2 occupants. Can entertain more.
