The location of Rosa’s place is amazing - steps from Lecce’s restaurants and bars but tucked away in a quiet corner. If you’re a couple or a family with older kids, this is a great base to explore the city.
With smaller kids, it’s less ideal - the second bedroom is on a different floor, there are lots of narrow stairs to navigate.
The apartment has beautiful original features - the floor tiles and domed ceilings are beautiful. The kitchen and bathroom have seen their best days. Some stuff was broken when we visited (oven, washing machine in kitchen wasn’t working but there was a replacement on the rooftop). We unfortunately did not have the same impeccable cleanliness experience other guests had. When we lifted a chopping board in the kitchen we found a smelly liquid underneath, apparently left by a previous guest. There was dust on the nightstands and floors.
With a bit of investment and a better cleaning service, this place has the potential to be a real gem to explore Lecce and southern Puglia.
