"Sorry about being so very late to put a comment as we stayed there in June 2008 ! -but see, the memory is still alive and a great one ;-)
I thought I had to drop a little note for English readers because the one I read was a bit "tough" I think : you may hear once some other people chatting(and smoking)on a balcony below but how the owner could interfere in OTHER FLATS ?! Sooo seriously it''s nothing to talk about. The building is quiet, the flat is cute, the bathroom was very comfy (in 2008),the kitchen has everything you''d wish (even a steam cooker for the ones watching their health !), the owner is the most friendly and helpful, you are really central for grocery shopping (lots of local treats ! from candy store and ice cream parlour just next door to a country market on Saturdays)but calmly surplumbing a park, you reach the mountains easily and you are welcomed from your own bed each morning by an amazing view on Aiguille du Midi ! What to wish more ?!"
