We were very lucky to have found this place--L'Escaplade--and enjoyed our three-week stay in Saumur, using the place as our base apartment, allowing us to take day trips in the Loire Valley and really get familiar with life in a friendly, lovely French town. Although it was just my husband and me staying there, the apartment has two bedrooms, so that I could see how it could accommodate a family nicely. There's a huge bathroom, and good light in both bedrooms. The place is furnished with comfy furniture and all you might need to cook your own meals, including a full-sized refrigerator, modern stove with an oven, and a dishwasher and microwave. In short, it's just like home. Finally, the location was perfect. Not having a car, it didn't matter because we were able to walk everywhere, but especially to Place St. Pierre, with its restaurants, bars, boulangerie and a pharmacy. It's also surprisingly close to the river. Our hosts, especially Yohann, were helpful and available when we had questions. If we ever go back to Saumur, we'll definitely rent l'Escaplade again!
