WATER HEATER PLEASE READ

In France, water heaters (boilers) work differently from those in many other countries. Hot water is stored in a tank and can be depleted if used excessively. It takes between 1 and 3 hours for the tank to refill and reheat again, depending on its size.



We kindly ask you to avoid long showers or baths, unless you are the last person to use the bathroom and can wait until morning to refill it.

This is a normal part of life in France, so we thank you for your understanding and consideration.



ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

France uses a limited electrical system, and if too many appliances (such as a hairdryer and a microwave) are used at the same time, the circuit breaker may trip. If this happens, you will need to manually reset it at the electrical panel.



Please avoid overusing multiple devices simultaneously this system is designed to reduce energy consumption and is very common in French households. We ask you to use only what you need.

Why are the keys not at the property

Having to drive a 10km round trip to Les Houches to pick up and drop the keys for a property which is is in Chamonix is ridiculous. Please do let me know where I can send the invoice for my time and fuel for having to pick up and drop off the keys. Also no towels on arrival they came 4 hours later. Rubbish still in the bin in the kitchen. Also why are there 10 keys on the key ring when you only need three.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Jun, 2025
Dear Wade, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the key collection process felt inconvenient. Unfortunately, due to local building rules (known in France as "syndics"), short-term rentals are allowed in the building but key boxes are strictly prohibited on-site. This policy is beyond our control and applies to all residents, not just our guests. For this reason, keys must be collected from our office, just 6 minutes (5 km) from the property, and we clearly indicate this in all listings where it applies. That said, we understand it may have been unexpected, and to make up for the inconvenience, we’re happy to offer €5.50 for your time and fuel. Please email your details to contact@careconcierge.fr. Regarding the towels, we apologize sincerely. During low season, we sometimes adjust supply logistics based on occupancy, but we’re glad our team was able to deliver towels quickly upon request. We always aim to be transparent and responsive. Your feedback helps us continue improving the guest experience, and we hope to welcome you again under better circumstances. Warm regards, Matthew Care Concierge Team
