Bel Alp winter

We stayed six days in this property and we found the apartment confortable and well serviced. Actually Juliet, the changer over manager, is very nice and provided excellent support. The property is well located in Mont Roc near ski resort of Le Tour and close to bus stops and train station. The wireless internet is very fast and reliable. Although, the vacationist needs to be aware of the following: 1) the HomeAway site affirms that no car is needed but during winter the bus stops at 17:00, so no way to get transportation to Argentiere in the evening. In theory it is posssible to walk to Argentiere to go to the market or a pizzeria but to walk by the road is not safe. ( the pedestrian path was full of snow and even in normal conditions would take 35 minutes walking through the countryside to Argentiere. In Mont Roc there is no place to eat or to buy bread). 2) The last train from Chamonix to MontRoc departs at 20:15 ( so think about if want to have dinner in Chamonix because one taxi to Mont Roc could cost more that 40 €). Besides, during high winter ski season, buses are always full and sometimes they do not stop.
Concerning the site HomeAway, they should be more precise because in the table of facilities they write TV , but in fact the TV ( flat screen) is not connected to satellite or cable. i.e, it is only possible to watch DVD movies (disclaimer to the owner because on the owners ‘site the TV screen is described properly). Another thing the HomeAway site should inform is that the heating system is electrical and the electricity bill is additional cost.
Concerning improvements, we think that a cupboard outside of the apartment to store the skis and boots would be very useful. We also believe that towels should be provided, since it is marginal cost on top of the bed linen and would reduce the vacationist luggage.

Risposta del proprietario: The Chamonix valley is quite long and a car is useful to use outside the bus timetable. There is a bus and train stop right outside the apartment. The bus is free with the ski pass and runs about every 15mins during the day but as detailed in the review the service is not 24h. There is a French TV signal in the apartment and plenty of DVDs for the 42" flatscreen and WiFi internet for video/TV streaming. The extra cost of electricity is clear in the terms and conditions sent out prior to booking. There is a boot and ski rack inside the apartment. Towels are available for hire if guests require them.
