We would love to return again in the future.
Helene, the host, was very welcoming and helpful. She provided useful information about restaurants and suggestions about what to see during our visit. The apartment is comfortable and well set-up, providing everything guests need. The view of the river from the apartment windows is beautiful.

A really good place for a family who is used to sharing only one bathroom.
The location was wonderful in the center of older Blois. Nice view of the river. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the kind of pots and pans and cooking implements that we needed. We really appreciated that.
The furnishings are a little on the tired side, but that was OK for the price. However the owners requested that we be conservative in turning on the heat so some more blankets would have been helpful to accommodate that request since we were staying in late September.

Stunning views, centrally located in a beautiful Blois.
Amazing location right on the Loire with panoramic 180 degree views of the river and promenade. So close to the Old Town, restaurants, bars, the Carrefore as well as all Blois has to offer. A very well-appointed apartment with everything you need for a long or short stay. Two good size bedrooms & one bedroom has views in 2 directions! Surprisingly quiet given its central location. Blois is a fabulous city, with world class restaurants, and very handy for access to Chambord, Chenonceau, Cheverny vineyards, Amboise & the chateau du Close Lucé among many other attractions.
The beds were a bit too firm for us. The loud extractor fan in the bathroom stayed on the entire time 24/7. (However, with the bedroom & bathroom doors shut you couldn’t hear it).

Perfect location to explore the Loire region.
This property had enough space to easily accomodate five adults, so with just two of us there it gave us plenty of space to spread out. The air conditioning was superb and efficient, just what we needed during an increably hot week. There is everything in this appartment that you could possibly need including a washing machine and dishwasher, plus the views across the river were a delight. If you don't fancy cooking in the appartment then every type of cusine can be found in walking distance.
Perhaps a metal tray to heat up the breakfast pasteries, a very minor issue.

Lumières de la Loire lives up to its name
The apartment is spacious 2BR, tastefully furnished, scrupulously clean. Refurbished kitchen and bathroom. (B1: 1xDB+2x singles [trundle], B2: 1xDB. Sleeps up to 6.)
It is right in the dead centre of Blois.. Fantastic views of the Loire out the 2nd storey windows. Apartment is quiet (double glazing shields the street noise). Its 50m to shops. Two mini-supermarkets within 60 m.. We liked the Carrefours Express (baked fresh bread daily, except Sun). Bakeries, banks shops, bars, restaurants all plentiful, easily accessed. The views are fantastic. The apartment lives up to its name - The Lights of the Loire. We visited in Spring. Trees just into leaf. 18-20°C, sunny. Hydronic heating and air cond available but not required.
Hélène and Hugues are great hosts. Really helpful. Hélène speaks English.
2nd floor means 42 steps, no lift. Not good for disabled, but the views are worth the climb. (Steps are France's secret weapon for remaining slim.) It could be worse - most apartment buildings are 6 stories high. Free street carparking 400 m away. Short term (2hr) paid parking in rue Jeanne d'Arc, or over the road on Quai St Jean helps with load/'unload. There is also free parking 450m away between the Mercure Hotel and police station. Parking is competitive, keep looking. This place is fantastic. Parking anywhere in France is challenging. The location is very central and the property is well serviced.

We had a great short stay.
Great location, great view and well equipped. The (free) navette bus runs Monday to Saturday from just opposite the flat and take you up to the upper town, or to the Gare.
Note for anyone with mobility problems, it’s on the 2nd floor.
The appartment is very nice and cosy, big, exactly as shown in the pictures. The host is very nice and helpful. The parking area is just in front of the building, but you need to pay between 9-18pm. There is also a free parking, but it’s a bit far away from the property. What was new and odd is that wc is not in the same room as the shower, but I can be also a good thing that 2 persons can use both of them. The location is in the center, close to everything that you need.
Being located in the city center, it’s very noise during the night because all the bars are nearby and the windows are right at the street.

Would stay again in a heartbeat.
Location. Across the street from the loire with views of the bridge. Right downtown, easy access to a couple of downtown grocery shops, boulangeries, pedestrian streets, etc. Easy access to the old town...
Parking is on-street (if you're lucky) but across the street there is paid parking (free from 7pm-9am...can prepay-which we did, so that parking overnight was free and I didn't have to plug the meter at 9am...it was prepaid until 11 or whatever...about 1.50/hour or so)... but if you want to walk a block or so, there is free parking as well.
Just like the images. One large bedroom (with two beds), another large bedroom, a large living room and a French-size (small but not cramped) kitchen. All new appliances. Comfy beds.
It is on the 3rd floor (2eme etage pour les francais) and there is not an elevator. No big deal (except I was with my parents ...80 years old and I had to carry their luggage lol).
Hosts are amazing. I asked a random question (where's the best pain au chocolat) and they gave me options. (by the gare).
after checking out, our rental car broke down and blois being a small-ish town, our host found out through a friend and texted me to see how he could help-or if he could help with anything. It was a very nice gesture (much better than AVIS who gave us the runaround for 6 hours...).
I will try to go back.

Great appartment, fantastic value.
Great location. Appartment has everything you need. Wonderful view and friendly hosts.
Parking is an issue. The free parking is a reasonable walk from the appartment. I would have appreciated being informed about paid aprking options as well as free.

Worth the money , not over that
Location is good, very central and close to bars, restaurants and shops. The apartment is large, kitchen is nice, view from the window is great
Owners are not very responsive by whatsapp. They give only one key and it limits. The location is do central but it comes with noise during night. The apartment could be cleaner, the bath room smell bad

Nothing all was very good.

host and apartment are both good but the location is a zero
well stocked kitchen and helpful host
The location is a zero
the apartment is located on a main road which is busy all day. But at night it gets worse when people start racing their cars and motor bikes up and down the road which doesn't stopped until the early hours of the morning. Once the cars have finished racing people starting leaving the bars and night clubs which are close by. People then start yelling, smashing bottles and fighting until 6.00am.
The only time there is any kind of quiet is between 6.00am and 8.00am.

Pretty good.
Helpful, relaxed owner. Big apartment. Location very central. Comfortable beds. Great shower. Well fitted kitchen.
A map to the parking in advance would have been helpful. Apartment was very, very hot when we arrived (>45C). We did not know what to do with rubbish. Almost no lids for saucepans.

The best place to explore the Loire valley!
All! Monsieur Bruno came immediately to give us the keys and to tell the door code, showed us the flat. The rooms with the view to river Loire were great! The flat besides lays directly to the center of Blois, so you can easy visit cathedral and castle. There are many restaurants nearby, but our favourite evening was, when we bought some delicious things to eat and drink and made our diner in the fine kitchen room...
You can park your car nearby and free, and its a big area. Really fine - but, and that could be negative: if you are not lucky, you have to wait for a long time to get a place. Fortunately we were always lucky...

Great location, spacious apartment, great view over the riove
The location is amazing, almost sad to write this review as it will get booked up! Great Town. Great Hosts. The florist come cafe below the apartment does great breakfast and so close, the owner bakes her own season deserts which are great.
Bedroom a little hot as it was 32deg in the day. Couldve kept the window open but as it is located right in the centre of town the morning traffic was a bit noisy, not the fault of the location as we wanted somewhere within walking distance of everywhere.

Charming, romantic and culinary stay at the best place of Blois
We loved the charming apartment in a historical building, with view of the beautiful river and bridge (we enjoyed the sunrises), and a fantastic surrounding, with a pedestrian area and lots of wonderful restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity. We felt this is the best area of Blois. The chateau de Blois can easily be reached by foot from here. Wifi worked perfectly. We had several excellent dinners nearby, and bought great local wine, in the immediate vicinity.
It was just perfect!

Parfait pour visiter Blois et les châteaux environnants.
L’emplacement quasi ultra-central et proche du parking municipal (gros plus si vous avez une voiture). Pas de mensonge, l’appartement est celui décrit, photos véritables. Les commerçants juste à côté (bar restaurant caviste (oui oui on ne vit qu’une fois 😇🙂).
Petit bémol, (et ce n’est pas la faute du propriétaire) le bâtiment est un peu ancien, donc pas d’ascenseur.

Maravillosa estancia.
Muy céntrico, con unas vistas inmejorables en todas las habitaciones.
Camas muy cómodas. Bonita decoración. Aire acondicionado. Muy silencioso.
Quizá que es un 3 piso sin ascensor. Para subir maletas muy incómodo.
