I rented this apartment for a week with my partner and four friends. The main draws were the location, the low price and the short distance to the slope. I was not disappointed in any way.
The agent, Sarah, met us promptly and as agreed and gave us all the information we needed. She was also on hand throughout the stay to answer any of our questions.
The apartment is exactly as shown in the photographs. It was quite cozy as there were 6 of us but at no point did it actually feel overcrowded - we spent most evenings in the apartment and there was plenty of room to sit, even when watching TV. We cooked for 6 nights out of 7 and, whilst 6 of you won't be cooking at once as the kitchenette is quite small, there's room enough for one person to prepare and one person to cook, and the table easily seats 6. The kitchen is very well stocked - plenty of pots, pans, herbs, spices, knives, cutlery, etc. the microwave oven worked well.
A great bonus was the little box of recipe cards left by the owner - a lovely touch. We also had great fun playing the games that had been left. The DVD player worked fine and the Wifi was very reliable.
We took our own bedding and towels, but the duvets, etc provided were comfortable as were the beds. The bunk beds are a little low so I would recommend the shortest people are put in here to avoid banging heads in the mornings!
The ski locker is downstairs. From there you walk through the garage, around the corner and out onto a green slope where you can ski down to two lifts. As someone who hates carrying my skis anywhere, this was a real plus point for me. Likewise in the evenings you could ski down the top of the same green to get to the apartment.
Overall, this definitely fulfilled my expectations. It wasn't 5*, but that wasn't what I paid for: what I got was a lovely little apartment that was convenient and great value.

We all had a fantastic time accomodation was adequate had everything we wanted and value for money. We would go back again .
Very nice and cleaned apartment. Close to the centre, shops, restaurant and all the lifts. We were really unlucky with the weather, so spent most of the time indoors. I would recommend this accommodation.

January 2014 was our second trip to this accomadation, since our last visit it was obvious that work had been undrtaken in upgrading certain aspects of the appartment, notably the bathroom.
The accomadition comprises of a room with a double bed, a room with bunk beds and the living area has a sofa bed, giving sleeping space for 6. Both bedrooms contain plenty of storage space for kit and the entrance hall has plenty of storage for those sleeping in the living area.
The accomodation is located at the lower end of the village (mont de lans end) and approximately 10 minutes walk to the Jandri Express lift. However when leaving to go boarding in the morning we dropped onto the adjacent green run and dropped down to the Petit Aiguille chair lift which allows you cut across to the main Jandri lift. Again at the end of the day we rode the green run (the village?) to the back of the appartment.
Of an evening there are plenty of decent value places to eat though there will be a short walk involved in getting into the town centre. There is a supermarket around 100m away and a bakery for fresh bread just beyond the tourist info office (about 2 minutes walk away)
We did cook on a couple of occassions and whilst the kitchen area is snug and only comfortably accomadates one 'chef' it is well equipped with 4 electric rings, a microwave and a dishwasher.
As the appartment is a couple of hundred metres away from town, the plus point is that it is nice and quiet so a good nights sleep is guaranteed!
