This rental would have to be in our top two, and we’ve been using VRBO for over 15 years. We stayed for a month and the apartment is well suited for long term. There was plenty of space for the two of us. The larger of the two bathrooms was well finished, the kitchen is large with plenty of cooking utensils and prep space, and the apartment is clean and nicely done, it does not feel like someone just threw it together. The large balcony was gorgeous, full of flowering plants; we did not get to enjoy it as we were there in November and the weather was cold and rainy, but there are plenty of windows to allow natural light, so the weather did not dampen our spirits. Our host Luciano greeted us and explained everything and was most helpful, fixing a water issue we had the same day. Location, location, location, walking distance to the train, bus station, even with luggage, and short walk to the wall. Five minute walk to city center, restaurants around the corner, and yet nice and quiet, at least when we were there. Bicycles, two of them, this is one of the reasons we booked this rental, we must have bikes if staying a month. Go to Glam around the corner for hamburgers but be aware they put a dressing (French dressing?/not sure what it was) but we actually liked it and went back a second time. Also try Pizzeria Santa Maria for the best pizza, we’ve been all over Italy and this is one of our favorites. The only thing to be aware of are the flight of stairs to the apartment but this is easily overlooked when you see the views from the bedrooms, priceless. We were sad to leave, Luciano and his family were so friendly and gracious; Lucca for us is magic and we will return again next year, it keeps drawing us back. We loved this apartment, highly recommend it.
