Alpe d'Huez - appartement 5 personnes au pied des pistes (quartier Les Bergers)

Poor kitchen equipment….

We stayed at the property in February and most of all, we were frustrated to discover that the property has only 1 bedroom with bunk bed while the description clearly states 2 bedrooms. This is what caught our eye originally and make us to make this booking. The photos provided demonstrated the sofa bed in two positions so it mislead me into thinking that the open position is actually a double bed in a second bedroom, which in reality is not there. The sofa bed is very tired and creaks at every movement. There is nowhere to dry your wet clothes/ski boots, apart from small and dusty radiators. There is a ski room at the residents but no heated racks there, just small cubicles for skis. The worst thing was communication with the host. It took him 5 days to reply to our email, and that was the last day of our stay. His excuse was that he was busy. He did offer us a small compensation for the inconvenience. The location is convenient, a few minutes walk to the lifts.

Excellent property just a short walk from the lifts, bars, restaurants and supermarket. A good size for 3 but would be tight for 5.

We had a nice stay in the apartment, it's small, but then that's known from the outset when booking. There was 4 of us (2 adults, 2 children). The location is great, a short walk in the morning to the piste, near the main Marmotte 1 and other lifts, and we had good enough snow to be able to ski back to the door via an easy slope. The ski locker arrangement worked well. Negative points: We didn't find the pull out sofa-bed that comfortable. I wish that the shower head could be attached higher up, rather than having to be hand held.
