40m2 1st floor apartment, near the center of Saumur

A cozy place that is affordable and well-located if you need easy access to the essentials for a long stay. The wifi is best accessed from the bedroom and some small appliances could use an update. There is a large shed that the owner let us use for our ebikes, which was a nice extra.

I needed self contained accommodation with some outside space in Saumur that was also close to major stores. Suzel's apartment provided that with a Lidl almost next door and an Intermarché Hypermarché a short drive. The kitchen diner was well equipped and I appreciated the gas hob. Bedroom was a good size and the plant life outside helped keep the apartment cooler with outside temperatures in the 30's. Suzel's a very pleasant lady. I was able to park my car in a convenient space on the road outside.

Notre hôte Suzel était super. Elle a pu nous accueillir et s'assurer que notre voiture était garée dans un endroit sûr. Elle nous a fait visiter l'appartement et s'est assurée que nous savions comment faire fonctionner les appareils. Ma femme et moi y sommes restés presque un mois. Le lit était très confortable et nous avons apprécié la terrasse extérieure privée. Comme nous déménageons à Saumur, nous avions beaucoup de bagages (six gros sacs, une grande boîte et quelques sacs plus petits). Suzel a eu la gentillesse de demander à sa fille de nous aider à déplacer tous nos sacs dans notre appartement permanent. Je ne dis pas qu'elle peut le faire pour vous, mais elle a été très gentille avec nous. Nous reviendrions certainement avec elle. Merci beaucoup Suzel pour votre gentillesse et votre hospitalité. Our host Suzel was great. She was able to greet us and make sure our car was parked in a safe spot. She showed us around the apartment and made sure we knew how to work the appliances. My wife and I stayed there for almost a month. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed the private outdoor terrace. As we are moving to Saumur we had a lot of baggage (six large bags, a large box, and some smaller bags). Suzel was kind enough to have her daughter help us move all of our bags to our permanent apartment. Not saying she can do this for you but she was very kind to us. We would definitely stay with her again. Thank you so much Suzel for your kindness and hospitality.

What you see is what you get. The pictures give a perfect representation of the appartment. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and spacious. The city center of Saumur is a 20 minute walk. Be aware when you return after 10pm. The city lights go out in the street around the apartment. Take your flashlight or buy one at the Tourist information office ;-)

The owner has created a really lovely space, with trailing vines around the windows and balcony which make it feel really green and secluded. It had everything we needed, apart from a hairdryer, but the kind owner brought one for us very quickly. We are both very tall (6ft and 6ft 3) so the bed was on the small side for us (a small double/4ft6 - I think). But it was sturdy enough and comfortable. We had to bend down low to get out on the balcony, and bend down in the shower, because of the sloping roof, but the bathroom is actually a comfortable size and the balcony is a very nice space. We had sun on the balcony in the afternoon (definitely), and I think in the morning too. You wouldn't know it from inside, but it is actually surrounded by an Aldi,(on the next block) a relatively busy road for Saumur, and a small car park! But it just didn't feel like that at all - you can't really see or hear them when you are in the apartment (the vines just block it out), and we didn't hear any traffic at night. Despite the many windows in the bedroom, the curtains kept out the light. The Aldi was very convenient. Parking on the street outside was easy (during a very busy weekend in the town), and there was actually plenty of space outside the apartment behind the gate to store our bicycles. We were also given keys to an inside bicycle storage area, but we didn't use it because the weather was so fine. If you like ultra modern and new, then this won't be the apartment for you. It's quirky. We really loved it and highly recommend it. Great price too.
