“We had a wonderful time in Nick and Jo’s beautiful and very comfortable chalet located in the best location possible. Communication with Nick was extra easy. Chamonix’s most renowned spots are at walking distance from the chalet which is a major asset in this city. We highly recommend! Thank you so much Nick and Jo.”

Nick's reviews
As a host (3)“We had the absolute best trip to Chamonix! The chalet is in the perfect location and minutes to everything in town. Our summer stay was full of all the best activities that Nick and Jo easily arranged for us - canyoning, hydrospeed and trekking the Via Ferrata. We dined out at night with several great recommendations, but also enjoyed the hot tub while gazing at Mont Blanc. This is not just one of our best swaps, but one of our best vacations ever. Thank you so much, Nick and Jo! ”
“ Chalet Union is beautifully & tastefully decorated, fully equipped, within easy walking distance from Chamonix centre yetnestled in a quiet location with the MOST AMAZING views, garden & hot tub overlooking the Aiguille du Midi, Mont Blanc & the Glacier des Bossons. We really enjoyed staying here. Despite having a list of places recommended to go out for dinner…we didn’t go out at all in the evening, the location was so beautiful we were happier staying at home and chilling. Communication with the hosts was seamless and super friendly. The property was spotlessly clean. We would definitely recommend this property.”
