Varenne Exclusive Stay Walls View with Parking

Dets beliggenhed i forhold til besøg i byen, alt var rent og pænt, parkering nær lejligheden, den fine og hurtige tilgang til information fra udlejer mht. parkering og registrering af nummerplade på udlejningsbil, fin service hele vejen igennem.

Alt var ok. Eneste ulempe er hvis du har fået en temmelig stor udlejningsbil (her en BYD Seal) , så er det svært at komme ind gennem porten til parkeringsarealet især når der på gaden lige udenfor holder store biler i båsene ligeoverfor porten. Det er selvfølgelig ikke en kritik af lejligheden, men kun ment som info.

La posizione ottima e la comodità di avere il parcheggio privato

In the walls and parking was why we booked it. Terrace was nice but didn’t really use it (weather). Owner very responsive when I couldn’t figure out the parking

TV was just about useless. At the price point they should provide a smart tv. Moldy shower - easy fix and immediately noticeable.

Tutto, soprattutto la terrazza, veramente tantastica

Nulla

Very clean, bathroom is quite modern with good water pressure, decorated very tastefully, eclectic style with antique and modern aspects. High ceilings. You can’t beat the location and even though it was next to a busy street the shutters kept any noise out. The terrace was welcome albeit not private per se. laundry worked great. Extra towels and sheets in the cupboard were appreciated. The armoire had plenty of space for clothes etc.

We have never been to a rental where we had to buy dish cloths and tea towels. Might account for the cutlery we had to re-wash from the drawer. Zero salt or pepper too. The drip coffee machine I was told they had (as I checked on coffee implements for the morning) did not have a pot. The cooktop was induction heat which we’ve never seen, there were no instructions, and our kettle was not electric. So we had to go out for coffee despite our planning and enquiring. The living area only had one sofa and it was uncomfortable, slippy material and sweaty. Plenty of room for a coffee table or ottoman and a comfy chair but there were none. We pulled kitchen chairs up to the sofa and that helped. The kitchen chairs were also uncomfortable past a few minutes too. Felt very unwelcome actually. The bed was average comfort.

Super Lage, schönes Appartement mit großer Terrasse und Parkplatz.

Das Bett ist hart

The service was once again outstanding. We were allowed to park the car already at midday on the day of arrival in the designated parking spot (safely located in an inner courtyard!). The key handover also worked perfectly, and the hosts were always reachable via WhatsApp. The location within the city walls is fantastic. In just a few minutes on foot, you can reach the shopping street Via Fillungo or central squares of the city. Both the kitchen (see exception below), as well as the bathroom and bedroom, were absolutely clean. As soon as we return to Lucca, this apartment will once again be our first choice.

We did have to rewash the dishes ourselves, and the sofa in the living room is very worn out. More comfortable chairs would also be desirable.

The location was great for us. The apartment is beautiful, however we paid for air con which we didn’t have across the apartment, only in the bedroom where we portable air con machine had been positioned.

On arrival in Lucca and beforehand the owner detailed there was no opportunity for us to drop our luggage off earlier than check in of 3PM due to cleaning. However 30 mins prior to check in time we received an impromptu much friendlier message detailing we could now leave our luggage at the apartment. We soon realised why the change in tone. On arrival at the apartment there was no air con, but apparently it was being repaired. We dropped our luggage off and went out to eat and get some water. The owner then contacted us detailing that the part required to repair the air con system would take days to arrive. As such she could relocate us to another apartment, give us a full refund so we could book somewhere else ourselves or stay put with the use of a portable air con unit. We chose the latter, we were tired from travel and felt this the best for us. However, only on return to the apartment much later in the day did it become clear that we could only use the unit in the bedroom as it had a long wide hose that needed to be vented through a window outside. So it only reached through a window in the hallway leading to the bedroom. We used the unit, but obviously having the window open all night resulted in us being eaten alive by mosquitoes. We highlighted this as an issue to the owner who said there are mosquito plugs in the apartment which we can plug in. They had zero effect. We felt a small gesture of partial refund
