Enjoy beautiful, historic Lucca, Italy!

Our ideal sitter(s) would be mature (in spirit if not years), kind, experienced, and conscientious. Of paramount importance is our sitters' ability to take care of our sweet 11-year old-cat. It is important that our sitters know how to respect the apartment as well as the quiet of our neighbors (who you might never even see.) In return, we hope our sitters will have agamtastiv experience in Lucca! Primary responsibility is to keep Skeeter feeling safe, happy and secure. He is a very mellow cat. Shy at first, but by the next morning, he'll probably have checked you out. He's pretty low maintenance. No medications, just the usual food, water, treats, play, and, yeah, scooping the cat box. (He's very reliable about using his box.) If I have plants around, water them. If the trash and recycling need to go out, I'll tell you how to do that. We appreciate you doing this for us! Our apartment is only a couple minutes from the wide path along the top of Lucca's famous wall. In the other direction is a stunning Medieval Portal opening up to a main thoroughfare with lots of shops, restaurants and piazzas. Our apartment is on the ground floor, with just a few short steps to the door. (No lugging luggage or groceries up mtiple flights of stairs!) It has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, a dining area, a full (if small) kitchen with customary appliances and utensils. We not only have a washer, but it's a washer-dryer combo, a rarity in Italy! There are many places to see in Lucca, and if you have particular interests, we'll try to point you in the right direction. But my favorite past-time is just wandering the small streets, sitting in a piazza, or visiting some of the city's remarkable historic museums and towers. Yes, you'll probably get lost. But it's worth it. (Thank goodness for GPS to get you back home!) This is ideal for people wishing to arrive via public transportation. Lucca's historic district is very pedestrian and bicycle friendly. It's normal to get around without a car. If you do bring one, be aware that our apartment offers no parking of its own. We can direct you to possible public lots, however. Fortunately, we're just a smidge outside the ZTL (limited traffic zone), so a taxi can bring you right to our door from the train station, or you can drop off your bags before heading for the parking lots. It really helps! Walking from the train station takes about 20 minutes, or there's also an easy and economical bus from the train station that stops nearby. Lucca is a very safe town. I can recommend it even for solo women travelers. No, sorry.
