The apartment is fantastic - very well furnished and stocked with lots of little extras you don't normally get in self-catered accommodation, and plenty of plates, mugs etc, that made it really easy to cater for the 6 of us. There is a bath with shower over and a shower room, but we were a little surprised there was only one toilet, I don't know why but for some reason we were expecting one in the bathroom and a separate one. I guess we didn't read the description carefully enough. There was loads of hot water, and the heating was excellent.
There is a great selection of dvds unfortunately there is no TV aerial but we could have streamed from our tablet (the Wifi is free and very good) if we'd remembered the HDMI cable!
The apartment block itself is quiet, in a quiet area. Its a short walk down to the bus stop, and the top of a shortcut to the red piste down to La Roche lift. You have to take care though, the road when we were there was extremely icy due to very cold temperatures and rain! There was parking for two cars close by.
The shortcut to the piste is narrow, so involved snowploughing and walking uphill at the end (I never "let go" soon enough) - so if you are lazy/timid the ski bus is ideal - you can get to La Plagne centre and then change if you want to go to BellePlagne and its about the same time as it takes intermediate skiers to ski there so you can meet up.
You can ski back at night to the top of the road, apparently its a "red red" so I didn't risk it with tired legs, but the rest of our party used this rather than the bus to get home.
Checking in/out is really easy too - we arrived late at night and due to the key pickup it was no problem. The boot room for storing skis etc is a bonus.
The La Plagne ski area is great for intermediates and it seemed to be mainly skiers - the weather wasn't great though so the fun parks were closed so maybe there would normally be more snowboarders. We were there at half-term and apart from queues at the main "access" lifts it was relatively quiet (again might have been the zero visibility putting people off).
We would definitely book again, the owner is extremely friendly and responsive to emails and we felt very welcome. We had a taste of what it would be like in nice weather on our last day, and were gutted to be coming home.
