  : Apartment location was really good
  : Parking - there was no parking available, the nearest one was 36eur per day, which was very expensive at the end of the trip. Also the rubbish and recycling - this really ruined our stay, as apartment owners demanded us to recycle and bring trash to the other side of the town manually! This was ridiculous, they also provided a single bin with single bag, while asked us (4x adults staying week, while providing 1 bin bag for the whole week) to separate trash in 4 ways. This was ridiculous and really made our stay very uncomfortable. If the recycling is needed: 1st, they should make sure they provide bin at home that has all 4x sections, enough bags, and bins at the property, not other side of the town! never experienced this before, and was really uncomfortable.

  : The neighborhood is lovely, the accomodation is right under the mountains and it is easy to access. There are cable car stations nearby where you can get up to the mountain tops easy and fast. There are shops and restaurants nearby not to mention the lake.
  : The lack of parking space is frustrating (altough it was not kept a secret) a bit but the parking is not expensive (mobile parking was way too hard to setup so we had to toss in coins like in the last century :). The apartment is mostly equipped but there are some things which we missed a lot (eg. garbage bag, it is not easy to buy some on a national holiday).

  : The apartment is in a great location. It is a block over and down from CityXpress talstation, and about a 5 min walk to the centre of the pedestrian area in the town. It is only about 7 or 8 mins to the edge of the lake. The apartment is small but cosy with one ensuite bedroom (the bathroom has been recently refurbished and has a heated floor and towel rail), a very small kitchen/entrance and a living room with sofa bed and balcony. One set of towels per person is provided, and the bedding is quite heavy - which is good if you like being very warm at night. There is a nice view of the blue ski run ending at the CityXpress to the right and the town to the left from the balcony. As can be seen in the pictures, the kitchen is tiny, but there is plenty of cutlery and delph, along with a coffee machine and toaster. The fridge also has a little icebox freezer. The sofa bed in the living room is large, but because the bathroom is an ensuite, the apartment is not really suitable for more than 3 people. bedding is provided for this. There is a large TV with several channels, the majority in German.
  : The apartment is located at the top of a granite staircase, on the second floor. There is little information provided to actually find the entrance and so you need to look closely at each door, not at all accessible for the infirm or unfit. The ski storage downstairs in the cellar is a timber fence secured with a bike lock. I would not be comfortable leaving expensive skis here, and there is no boot dryer. The hairdryer provided only worked for 30 seconds before overheating, but it was not worth contacting Alpen apartments about this. Unfortunately the temperature in the apartment is hard to regulate. It was difficult to find a balance between very warm/hot and not warm enough, the alternative is leave the windows/doors open. The Alpen apartments office to collect the key is a kilometer away, which is a huge distance when hauling luggage with you. A taxi will be about 10, but taxis are extremely rare on a Saturday due to the turnover in the town, and so unlikely you will get one to be able to drop the key back. You will also need the key to lock the door and so cannot drop it back the night before. Also, the check in process requires a deposit of 700, which is more than the advertised 500, so prepare for that.
