Stayed at Cris's for 2 weeks and 4 days before finding my own place to rent here in Lecce and here is my feedback.
4 main points:
1, The host Cris:
A wonderful guy, very helpful, accepting, and would never say no if you asked for help.
2, The housemates:
I don't exaggerate whenI say that upon arriving to the house/Lecce I had zero friends, but now I have a wonderful group friends who are absolutely amazing. Everyone is very generous, helpful, and respectful.
3, The house:
I had a shared room with 3 people and in it the bed was comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, and there is a nice spacious, well equipped kitchen. Although it can get cold sometimes as the heating is off, but you can ask for extra blankets that solves the problem when sleeping. For me it wasn't cold at all.
4, 15mins walk only from the historic centre.
