The chalet is small, but cozy and clean. Both of us are petite, so the small size did not really bother me. But if you are tall and big, you might need to consider the size. It is about 5-10 minutes walk to the gondola and bus station. If you don't want to carry your ski equipment, you can store in Meribel center. Deborah and Michael are very friendly and speak good English, making the communication much easier. We took the discount lift tickets offered by the host, which was great. I love the basement which stored my ski boots and other equipment at the end of the day. The boots rack is heated 24/7, amazing! We stayed there for 7 nights, so able to use the hot tub which was nice. Overall, very pleasant stay and communication with the host. Strongly recommend it.
