Maria Teresa and her daughter, Livia, were very good hosts. We were provided with restaurant suggestions and where to rent bikes. The apartment was very clean and had all the necessary kitchen supplies to prepare meals. They even had 4 cold waters waiting in the refrigerator for us.We were concerned about the apartment's location, however, had no issues at all. The surrounding area was quiet as were the other people within the apartment complex.A short ten minute walk got us to the walled historic center of Lucca. Overall, we found the apartment met all our needs and we enjoyed our stay.
