Fair

  : location: the house is super conveniently located - just 150 meters from the ski-lift (you can walk on skis to the lift in the morning and come back from the slopes straight to the ski depot (which is at the back of the house with easy access and plenty of storage space). We were in the smaller apartment, which is in the back of the house and is very private, so the fact that you have a big apartment on the front of the house was not an issue at all, plus we had our own private space and we could easily access walking paths and the slopes. The bus stop (should you wish to go Saalbach) is also pretty close and very easy to access (also on skis straight from the house if you want). Inside the house: The house is clean and the kitchen has everything you need (coffee machine, pans, etc... I do not know why they put so much emphasis on the microwave oven in the pictures, but yes, if you have not noticed there is a microwave oven and it is working). The room with 4 beds is really cozy and nice. The living room has a small balcony from which you can enjoy the view or check if the ski-lift is working ;) There is a small shop 100 meters away where you can buy basic things (milk, brotchen, butter, salami or pasta) and order a pizza. Bigger shops (SPAR) are 10-12 minutes away by car. So be ready to move your car from time to time.
  : the main downside of the apartment - and I want to be clear - the description of the apartment is not false, maybe just a bit misleading, is the fact that you basically live on 3 floors... the small bed room (2 beds on the pictures) is located on the ground floor, while the big room (with 4 beds) and the living room are two (yes 2!) stores up. You will see on the pictures the long staircase... and it really is like that. We tried to imagine that before coming but it would help if the description was a bit more precise (so I put it here: the small bedroom is on the ground floor, the big bathroom with the shower and bathtub is on the first floor (on the right hand side on the pictures of the staircase) and the living room/kitchen and the big sleeping room as well as a microscopic toilet are on the second floor (on the top of the staircase). It is not a problem if you understand that before coming. It is somehow mentioned in the description but in the section "facilities" ;) So for instance, I would not recommend this apartment to families with really small kids or with a dog that is scared of stairs. Otherwise it is a really nice place, especially because of its location. At the end, you come here to enjoy the slopes and the mountains and less the house, so in winter, if there is snow in the valley it is definitely the right choice.
