We had a very enjoyable week at Lou Lou. Situated on the ground floor, right in the heart of Chamonix centre, yet very quiet with no noise from outside when the windows were closed. Excellent location for the many shops and restaurants and just a short walk to bus stops for ski lifts etc. The pretty river runs by the outside seating area at the back of the apartment which, although somewhat overlooked from the other side of the river, was not a problem for us. The accommodation itself was very authentic and comfortable, with plenty of space for two people, although you could sleep 4 people using the sofas in the lounge. The layout worked well, with plenty of storage space (including a separate lockable cupboard in the hallway for ski equipment etc). The mezzanine bedroom, although height restrictive (you can sit up, but not quite stand!), worked well with plenty of half height wardrobe space and sockets. A very good use of space. The kitchen was well equipped with appliances and utensils, although a microwave would have been useful and a few more wine glasses!. A warm alpine feel was created with lots of wood, fur throws and cushions. In all we had a really lovely week, and would happily return there. Chamonix All Year staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
