We loved staying at Teresa's place, and would gladly do so again. Her dad, Andrea, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and fun. He met us at the AirBnB upon arrival, showed us around the place, and even walked us to a restaurant he recommended in town. We left something behind in the AirBnB when we continued on the next leg of our Italy trip... Andrea messaged us that he found it and met us near the airport on our final day to return the goods. What a host!
The AirBnB is located a short walk (5-7 minutes) from the old town. It was easy to park there and gave some separation between daytime exploring and relaxing/sleeping at the apartment. We used the AirBnB as a jumping point to visit nearby towns (like Monopoli) as well as to explore Polignano a Mare. There's a beach a short walk across the street, which made for a fun mix between old town sites and outdoor activities.
