Spent a great week in the apartment during the UTMB race. Les Houches and the surrounding area much more peaceful than downtown Chamonix but with everything you need on your doorstep, supermarket, boulangerie, couple of bars and restaurants and a pizza takeaway none of which are any further than a 2 minute walk.
The views of Aguille du Midi from the balcony are superb and best enjoyed with a glass or two.
Apartment itself was well equipped, clean and quiet and far enough away from the main road. Transport into Chamonix is free and very regular on the bus so once there no real requirement to drive unless you choose to do so.
Highly recommend staying here.
