Appartement cosy avec cheminée, terrasse et parking, proche pistes et commerces - Méribel

😊: Comfortable house in a good location. We picked up the keys from the agency on the main street, all straightforward, parked on the driveway and accessed the house easily. The house had everything we needed, was comfortable for a family of 4. The second bedroom has a small double bed against the wall so our adult children chose to sleep one in that bed, and one in the single fold down bunk which is in a small internal corridor between the bedroom and bathroom. Not beautiful but only used for sleeping so it did the job. Plenty of storage for luggage, coats, gloves, boots etc. Nice views from the kitchen and living room. Short walk to access the nearest piste and ski down to the lifts.. 😢: I didn't love the system of having to separately order and pay for our bedlinen, towels, bathmats, kitchen towels! We were aware of it in advance but it gave the impression of a university ski trip. Who travels with their own bedlinen and bathmats?! Surely just include it in the overall price? Anyway, we paid in advance, it was all waiting for us in a big plastic bag, so all fine..

😊: The apartment is indeed very cosy, it was clean and comfortable. We didn't need the log fire as the radiators are so efficient. It's in a good location where you can easily get on and off the piste after a short walk (200m). Short and enjoyable walk into the village. Well equipped kitchen as we ate in most nights and we all like to cook. Really useful to have the washer and dryer machines. Remember to wear studs/ chains under your apres-ski boots as it is obviously icy.. 😢: The apartment is pitched for 5/6 people but would be more comfortable if it was limited to 4 and laid out as such. The bunk area compromises the second bedroom making it cramped and somewhat uncomfortable. The bunk is useful for laying out clothing instead of drawers! There were a few cracked or broken items in the kitchen. No initial basic supplies were left for the guests' use. We didn't like having to bring our own bedding, sheets etc and paying extra for cleaning fee. In our opinion these should be provided as part of the overall hospitality package. You will need snow chains on your wheels to use the driveway. Three cars can park there but in a queue so not at all useful. We had to pay E100 to park in the village..

😊: Location and cosiness. 😢: Preference for single beds in second bedroom.
