First and foremost I'll try to be as impartial as I can be in this review. We stayed at the La Saleina Apartment for 2 weeks. It is ideal for 2 people. It has all the amenities a person could ask for in an apartment (the kitchen is very well equipped). It could use a bit of minor repairs (shower leaking at the bottom of the doors, could use a fresh coat of paint, and the big rug in the living room could be replaced), but other than that, the apartment is in good shape. Having a washer and dryer made our life a lot easier (they work very good). The location of the apartment is great, it is approximately 500 m. to Joseph Vallot St. (the pedestrian street). You are only a 10min. walk to the train station, or going the other way about a 12min. to Aiguile du Midi. One thing to keep in mind, this apartment is locate on a hill. The location might be an issue for somebody who has difficulty walking or limited mobility. Another thing to consider about the location is how close the apartment is to the street and how close the bedroom is to the street. As mentioned, the apartment is on a hill, the bedroom is located on the hilly side, so people coming down from the street can see right inside the bedroom and if they stop by the apartment their heads are almost level to the bottom of the bedroom window. The apartment is not located on the side of the sidewalk, but during the 2 weeks, we were woken by people standing on the corner of our apartment 8 or 9 nights. You hear everything!!! If you're a heavy sleeper or are used to the street noise, then this would not be an issue. I gave a 4 for cleanliness because I had to vacuumed the area rug within the first few hours we had moved in. It had not been properly vacuumed, and the shower drain was clogged with hair. I had to clean it twice, or else the water would have overflowed out of the shower. The people from CAY are very responsive and are easy to deal with. We ran out of propane for the stove on Saturday evening, Sunday morning somebody came to replace it. During our first week, we had a mouse come into the apartment, the next day a maintenance guy took care of it. Overall, we would return we had a good experience. 8/10
