Spacious 7 bedroom

Overall we had a great stay and appreciated the spaciousness, charm and modern conveniences like dishwasher, washing machine and bed/bath linens. The location near the wall was fantastic. We also appreciated the quick response from the property manager on all issues. The apartment should be marketed as 7 bedrooms loft. The 8th bedroom is on a 3rd floor with no wall or bathroom. Also, three of the downstairs bedrooms do not have in-suite bathrooms - two bathrooms are located in the hallway and one is next to the kitchen.Street noise: we stayed over a holiday weekend and the partying on Saturday night was very loud and continued until 2AM. This mainly impacted guests in the exterior-facing bedrooms.Hot water in the upstairs bathrooms was an issue before the handyman came.Wifi was not working in the upstairs bedrooms - a modem was offered by the property owner and would be a nice permanent feature.Despite the noise, the location is excellent - within steps of the Lucca wall and on a vibrant, bustling street with tons of shops and cafés.

Excellent location

Perfect for a family stay. We've never had an apartment with such a good supply of plates, cups, cutlery etc. although larger glasses for long drinks would have been appreciated. The location could not have been better, right at the centre but still quiet. Any disadvantages we found were far outweighed by the wonderful surroundings and location.

Great Location

The location of Casa Penelope is perfect. We stayed for a month with friends and family. Proximity to great restaurants, the Wall, the bus station, churches and shops was ideal. Overall, it was a good experience, but we had a number of issues with the property. The apartment was on the second floor, not the first as advertised when we booked it, and when we inquired how many steps up to the apartment prior to booking, we were told there were 5. In fact there were 34. We probably would not have rented it if we had been told the truth, since several of us are "older". The WIFI did not work in all the rooms, the AC was not working, the stove and oven in one of the upstairs kitchens did not work nor did the TVS, and we weren't given keys to the doors to either of the separate upstairs wings. (The doors locked automatically when closed). The owner was able to get the WIFI working everywhere after a week and two visits, and the AC working after three visits. We had two days of super hot weather with no AC. And he eventually gave us his keys to the upstairs doors, with the admonition that they were the only set. All of these things should have been checked out and in working order before we arrived. The check-in process was poor. Sonja expressed that it was an inconvenience for her, showed us around the apartment only at our request. We were not shown how to operate the air conditioner, washers, TVs, or where the glasses and dishes were located (not in the kitchen!). And as she left from her hurried visit wit us, indicated that if we had problems, not to call her. We should address them to someone else in her office. We felt like we were an inconvenience to her. Communication with the management company was poor from the beginning. We made our reservation in Spring of 2021. While most of my emails regarding our stay were eventually answered, often the information I was trying to obtain was ignored. It is a great property AND really should be better managed.
