10 minute max walking distance to everywhere. Ski lift out back door that connects to Le Brevent gondola is so convenient! We also took bus to Les Grands Montets and Les Houches ski areas, and bus stops were 5-7 minutes from home. Apartment complex is safer than a bank vault, with locks and keys and codes for every door, which gets a bit overwhelming at times. The garage within a garage is difficult to get into and out of, so bring a small car, if any. You really don't even need one unless you are leaving Chamonix for other reasons, as we had to do. Plenty of dishes and cookware and silverware for a crowd.Place was warm and quiet. We purchased firewood at the local supermarket 7 minutes away on foot. There is also a Magasin Bio, which had lots of vegan foods, which we loved! Our favorite restaurant was Bizes, which had spectacular vegan and nonvegan food. We ate there twice because we loved it so much!We used washer, but dried clothes on drying rack because we had so many ski clothes that had to dry quickly, and did in the dry air. We used dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave, fridge. Great place!
