"The apartment was a great overnight stay in a resort with 2 bedrooms for the 3 of us. It was an upstairs apartment so we had some nice views to watch the sunset from the balcony. A handy place to stay for skiing at Mt Hutt. The living area was suitable for us with 2 couches and a dining area. The kitchen was well equipped with tea, coffee, sugar as well as some handy basics like salt, pepper and oil and a few other handy items. We all wished we could've had another nights stay.
