We didn't stay in the apartment (there was an issue that needed repairs) so I cant coment on the place itself, but we had a great stay in Polignano a Mare. Achille contcted us a couple of days out to offer us an alternative accomodation (after showing us photos) which we accepted. He was very hospitable and answered all my questioms very promptly. When we arrived we even got picked up from the train station! Achille gave us lots of good imformation on the area, and the apartment we did satay in was amazing. It felt traditional and modern and had everything we needed. Highly recomend Achille as a host.
