Emplacement parfait en plein centre ville, à 2 pas de tout ! Il y a toujours de la place dans la rue pour stationner. Le studio est très agréable, bien insonorisé, spacieux et très bien équipé.

The apartment is good and well equipped. It was very easy to get in, we received all the instructions in advance and they were very precise. In a short walk we were actually at the most important sights of the city und we did everything on foot. The hostess was super nice and helpfull.
- We were there at the weekend and everything went perfectly, but on the night from Sunday to Monday there was a lot of traffic in the street, it got quite loud and bright because of the headlights. I would recommend blinds for the windows.
- On this trip, we learned that in France we are asked to collect the bed linen at the end of our stay and put it somewhere (we didn´t know this from other country). But asking us to vacuum the apartment was a bit much. We did it, but we weren't happy with the situation.
But all in all, the stay was satisfactory and we would stay there again

Gîte NiLou was exactly as advertised. It is an incredible value. It was in a great location right in the center of Amboise. Our host, Audrey was very easy to work with using Whatsapp and Booking.com's message app. She even recommended some restaurants which were incredible. The place was clean and everything worked. We needed to do some laundry and the washing machine worked great. We parked in the free parking right down the street (350m). We had no issue with parking since we always returned in the evening when the rush had diminished. We needed towels and sheets which Audrey provided for €10 for each bed. One of us slept in the pull out couch which was comfortable for one adult or a couple of children. We had our own bath soap, toiletries, and toilet paper which you will need (you should always travel with these items in Europe anyway). All you needed to do was walk out the door and there were markets very close by. We like to take our lunch in the apartment with eggs, fresh cheese, fresh bread, butter and jam. There was plenty of room in the refrigerator for everything. We didn't use the TV. The Wifi was perfectly fine. The dishwasher worked great. We drank the water from the sink and it was fine. We liked the big, drip style coffee machine. We simply bought coffee from the market right around the corner and had a big pot of coffee every morning. The coffee machine had its own filter. Like all of the properties located in medieval towns, don't expect an elevator to get up to the second floor. We knew all of these things from the booking.com information. We easily coordinated our departure with Audrey who was very accommodating by allowing us a late check out. I would definitely recommend staying here.
There are a couple of minor things you should be aware of. The window in the bedroom opens to the street. The apartment is on the second floor. The town really quiets down after about 10 pm but in the early evening and in the morning, there are people walking on the street and car traffic so it's harder to sleep in if that is what you like to do. The bedroom curtains offer little to no privacy or light blocking. We simply closed the shutters. We were there in October and it was cool in the evening so this wasn't a problem. However, if it was hot and you wanted to leave the windows open for air, lack of privacy might have been a concern. There wasn't a place in the shower to put your items (shampoo, soap, etc) so you have to put them on the floor of the shower and bed over to pick them up. Again, not a big deal unless you have a back issue. It wasn't a problem for us but I wanted to point it out.

Everything was great
I did not know I would be charged $10 for linen. I was asked if I had my own linen or wanted to pay for it. I paid for it of course. I just feel this information should be in the booking.com info. Reminded me of being in a hostel.

Fantastic location, walkable to shops, cafes and Clos Lucé. Host Audrey is great and easy to connect with. Easy to get in. Apartment is a bit older, but spacious for two. Bed is super comfy. Very affordable for charming Amboise.
One flight up a windy, cement staircase, not bad but be aware, if limited mobility. I missed the fine print that sheets and one towel per person cost an extra €10, payable in cash.

This was exceptional value for money. Audrey, our host, was charming and very concerned that everything was good.The facilities were outstanding. Every thing had been thought about with a care for comfort. Thank you Audrey. You deserve to be successful.
it was on the second floor with no lift. hence the 9 and not 10.
we were fitter when we left!

I liked everything. The location is close to the centre, very clean and warm, the owner, Audrey, very friendly and helpful, gave us a lot of information about so many things.
It is a good place where to stay and visit the castles on the Loire Valley.
