My son and I had an absolutely wonderful time in this ground floor flat. It is two rooms which are beautifully decorated in a fresh, modern, style. I was a little worried about security in a ground floor flat but the locks were excellent and I felt very safe. There was a clever use of light - using opaque glass in the windows and doors, so you could be completely private, as well as brightly lit. The bedroom which had a double bed and a single was well designed with curtains that blocked the light but a bright court yard just outside when the curtains were drawn back. This small outdoor courtyard for sitting ( though hot during the day when we were there) but available for smoking and hanging clothes. The entire flat was brilliantly equipped with toiletteries in case you forgot your own, and with a fully equipped kitchen space- with pots and pans, pasta and olive oil. There was a ceramic hob which I couldn't figure out, but Luiz came, with our permission. and told me how to use it. Basically put the pot on first and then switch it on.
Bari is a lovely town to stay in and a good base for visiting other areas. I would highly recommend it for a short break. It has churches and a castle, a lovely old town - where Luiz had listed some very good recommendations of places to eat and a beach. All this in walking distance, which was convenient as neither of us drive.
For people who aren't used to the heat and who are used to air-conditioning, this is a really comfortable flat ( which can sleep upto 5 at a pinch) with both rooms fully (and separately air-conditioned). You can control the temperature and make yourself comfortable. Luiz has prepared detailed instructions for getting around, offers rides at a competitive rate - he took us to the airport. It was lovely to meet him. And describes Bari as he knows it, rather than a tourist Bari. Totally wonderful. We had just come from a lovely family wedding in the town of Gioia dal Colle and the two days in Bari were a great way to round off a really special holiday.
I have absolutely no suggestions of how Luiz could improve, as he seems to have thought of everything. But the only thing I would say to travellers is to watch out for timings of opening and closing of museums etc, and restaurants. For instance, we found Tuesday was a closed day for a lot things in Bari. In Gioia, some restaurants were open for lunch on Sunday not dinner and not on Monday either. So we had some bad luck here and there, but always found something else enjoyable to do.
