This place is a gem. Very close (5-10 min walk) to the walled part of the city of Lucca and equally as close to the train station for access to many cities around Tuscany. 30 mins to Pisa, 20 mins from the coast of Viareggio, 1 hr by train to Florence, 1 hr to Cinque Terre, 1.5-2 hrs to Siena, 2.5 hrs from Rome. Basically you can use this as your jumping off point for a day trip. The apartment includes everything you need to make meals at home, has a nice balcony for relaxing and reading, has surprisingly fast internet, and also a clothes washer which is very convenient. It's a quiet and peaceful place to lay your head at night after a long day of sight seeing. Dario and Genni are a truly sweet and hospitable couple that are very helpful and prompt to answer any questions. We are so happy that we found this apartment and the wonderful city of Lucca and hope to be back soon.
