Nice view, helpful hosts, but...
My husband and I spent here 5 days during the NYE break in 2019. Let's start with the good things first: the view from the house is nice, great location in the Vaud Alps, and the hosts were helpful in suggesting local walks and restaurants. BUT...
* Not a chalet: This property is advertised as a 2-bedroom chalet. A chalet is defined as "a small cabin or house used by holidaymakers." Alas, this definition does not apply here. It is a 1-bedroom basement apartment in the house you see in the photos. It opens to a lower level garden on one side. A family lives upstairs full time. I don't mind renting an in-laws suite, but that's not what we expected.
* Location: Getting there is a pain. Don't use your GPS or google maps. The host's instructions are only marginally helpful.
* Weird privacy: You don't get a key to your apartment, so it stays unlocked all the time. Yet the apartment upstairs is locked, and so is the staircase between the basement and the upstairs--but the key is from the host's side only. Further, the hosts are allowed to enter the basement apartment as often as they like as the only washer and dryer in the house is in your apartment. There are also no curtains in the entire house, so forget sleeping in or being intimate.
* The house is full of hosts' clothes and belongings, with no designated space for airbnb guests.
* Dark: The lighting is meant to be stylish, I am guessing, but it's simply a rather dark space. Forget reading in bed.
* Cleanliness: The sofa is appallingly old. Horribly saggy and dusty. The space was dusty overall, with cobwebs on all lamps.
