AM03 Spacieux T2 skis aux pieds Les Menuires

Superb location right on the slopes, quiet, warm, cosy, and well thought out for a short stay in this small flat. We had two very comfortable sofas, the well-equipped kitchen had enough stuff in it to prepare simple meals, there were many power points to charge our electronics and many hooks to hang things to dry. There were plenty of cleaning materials supplied and although we didn't need to do laundry, had we stayed for longer we would have appreciated the washing machine. Although it was a bit cold to sit on the balcony we appreciated the nice view and also the electric shutters kept out the morning light. Walking to restaurants and shops was pretty easy and we found roadside parking not too far away. The apartment was in a building with beautiful plants in the foyer, which made it more welcoming.

The one thing that we felt let this flat down was the very thin double bed mattress. Sleeping felt more like we were camping than in a real bed. It was a real shame, as we would definitely stay here again if it wasn't for this uncomfortable, thin mattress. Also, there doesn't seem to be any professional cleaning in between clients, so on arrival the place felt a bit "lived in" - cobwebs, dusty radiators and shelves, some orange slime in the shower, ingrained stains on the kitchen floor and a weird smell in the loo (which went once it had been cleaned properly). If you are particular about cleanliness and the previous people only do the bare minimum, be prepared to give it a clean on arrival. The caretaker was unpleasant, I made a mistake about wearing ski boots in the corridor, when he approached me I apologised and he ordered me to take them off and started to shout and threaten me, to the point that I just wanted to get away from him as it was a narrow space and he was being aggressive. He reported me and we had to explain the situation to the concierge, who was reasonable, she listened and was pleasant. The ski locker room was very smelly and damp.
