The apartment is as described. Anyone complaining about the location of the shower, the steps to the loft, the size of the loft, etc. did not carefully review the photos or read the description and reviews. The description could be clearer about access to the apartment; the only practical way in and out is by taking the many stairs and using three different keys. We, who are not spring chickens, did not mind the steps at all, especially because they led to an apartment with a sunny veranda that afforded great views of tiled rooftops, towers, and beautiful hills beyond.
During our two-week stay, we ate many meals in the apartment. We found the kitchen to be adequately equipped.
We came to love Lucca and, in no small part, because of the location of this apartment. For us, the music from the school across the piazza added to the charm of the city. We were in very easy walking distance from groceries (Conad), fresh bread, pastries of all sorts, restaurants, take-away foods, gelato, beautiful churches and piazzas, the city wall, the train station, etc.
All our interactions with the hosts were pleasant and helpful. Manuel, who greeted us and showed us the apartment, was especially friendly and generous with advice and tips.
We loved our stay.
