Let me know when the property is finished
Great location - on main thoroughfare and handy to everything. Property will be much better when it is fully finished and fitted out. No wardrobes in any of the four bedrooms. Two rooms had no electric lights, and two or three of the bedrooms only had bedside lamps. No microwave (not essential). Many of the multitude of power points aren't connected to anything. Lounge areas only had a sofa and no side tables. Ikea dining chairs quite uncomfortable. Both bathroom basins only provide a trickle of water (although showers are fine). We were there for four weeks, so some of the things that might be considered minor became irritating as the stay went on. Especially all of the pillows on the beds (need replacing). A work in progress, perhaps? The owners do not live in Italy, and perhaps need somone to keep a better eye on their investment.

O.M.G. Best place ever.
This was an exquisite property located in the best place possible in Lucca - Via Fillungo, which is the main street. Don't be offput when you enter the door - it's a bit dark and foreboding, but once you climb the two floors to the apartment, it's a tottaly different story! Throw open the shutters and say hello to Lucca!

Thanks Stephen, via Fillungo is a fantastic street right in the middle of the action. The apartment is a new renovation so everything is in great order. Lots of space and a great view of the town. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return to Lucca.

Difficult beginning and end but wonderful in the middle
Three of the four of us are over 75 years old We would never have rented an apartment that meant we had to climb up or down 46 steps every time we came or went. We got this information as a footnote on the 7th page of information after we had already booked. The experience of arriving with no instructions about parking, dragging our luggage for a 15 minute walk, and then seeing two flights of stairs to climb and drag luggage got us off to a very bad start. The rest of our time in Luca was great fun. The apartment is very comfortable and it is an easy walk to get around. The end of the visit that required getting luggage back down the 2 flights and dragging through the cobbled streets again was not easy. It would be a wonderful addition to the plans if there was an arrangement that we could pay for help the first and last day

Hello Lucy, We're always happy to answer queries before you book our property. I would suggest that in future you might want to ask questions if you're unsure prior to booking accommodation. Also, once booked, if you read the information provided to you and are not satisfied, you are still able to cancel your booking if you so wish. I'm sorry this was an inconvenience, however it is your responsibility to determine whether or not it is suitable for your holiday, not mine. Your review is the only sub 4 star review we have ever received and unfortunately this was due to yourself not looking carefully enough before booking and has nothing to do with the standard of the accommodation.

Ideal Lucca location
First of all if you are considering Lucca - book it immediately. This tiny walled city and this apartment are now our favorite places in Italy. The apartment is so very cool. Located levels above the busy street full of people and commerce lays a well designed and super cool oasis. The beds are so comfy and the esthetic of the entire space is super cool. Easy to check in and out, amazing communication before and during the stay. If six stars were an option we would happily award higher marks. Can’t stress enough how the is a must book location!

Lucky in Lucca
We had an amazing time staying here in Lucca! The apt was clean, spacious, and a great location!! A bit noisy at night so bring earplugs. Other than that, perfect! There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room to be together. We loved that we could walk to everything in Lucca and there is so much to enjoy there!! We did not need a car to enjoy our visit. The train is in walking distance which makes day trip easy. I would stay there again and would recommend to others.

Spettacolo puro
Sono 18 anni che mi reco a Lucca per il periodo del comics, e questa è la casa più fantastica che abbia mai affittato. E' enorme, moderna, pulita! I proprietari sono gentilissimi, e Laura, il contatto in zona, è disponibile e simpatica. Siamo rimasti piacevolmente sorpresi dalla grandezza della cucina, da tutto ciò che abbiamo trovato in loco (cibo, condimenti, kit bagno...persino le medicine!) e dal comfort della posizione centralissima. Ok, mancano i bidet, ma si può sopravvivere a ciò. ^^ Non fatevi scappare questo bellissimo appartamento!
