As we were 6 adults and 4 children, we rented the 2 BR apartment as well as the chalet. The house is wonderful, the kitchen well equipped and the location in Garmisch is ideal, close to the old town, and shops and restaurants.
Our first day was complicated by the fact that the WLAN was not working, apparently due to some bad weather in the past. This meant that we could not easily find restaurants and shops, get in touch with our local friends and had to use our US provider to get online ($10/day of use). Our host graciously reimbursed us for this expense upon request. We arrived on a Sunday, 2 of us from Northern Germany after having traveled in Europe for 4 weeks, the rest flew in directly from the US. Contrary to our host's statement, there was no soap in the bathrooms (the main bathroom which my husband and I used had an empty container of liquid soap). The WLAN was back on Monday morning, we were able to find shops and were able to buy soap and some kitchen supplies. The living room of the chalet is fairly small and sparsely furnished, but adequate. I would have appreciated a small table in the bedroom my husband and I used, but we enjoyed the house very much overall.
Unfortunately some of our children left a skylight on the top floor open and we were charged for some water damage - so future renters, keep the skylight closed, as it certainly did rain regularly during our stay in July.
