Let me start by saying that this apartment is in the best location possible in Bari. It is slap-bang in the middle between the beach and the old town.
The walk along the promenade to either is beautiful. It is one block back from the sea - two minutes walk!
I set my alarm every morning so I could watch the sunrise above the Adriatic Sea. Stunning; especially with the beautiful architecture of the art museum with its clock tower. The mornings on the promenade are fantastic with people out jogging/walking and walking their dogs. Brilliant atmosphere when the sun is rising.
I love Nataliya’s taste in interior design and the apartment was spotlessly clean.
It has everything you need to prepare basic meals and a fridge to store your food.
The basket with yummy jams, chocolate and bread was a nice thought.
I like the shower-head that glows red when it’s too hot and green when the temperature is right. A great touch. Nice bathroom - very modern. There are plenty of toiletries available if you need them. I always take my own.
The Wi-Fi is exceptionally fast and the smart TV is great to watch Netflix, et cetera.
The bed appeared to be a memory foam bed and is very comfortable indeed. I slept really well here.
It is quiet at night. The apartment was also a nice temperature and I used the fan when I needed it.
Nataliya gave me a great tip of using the local train station - Bari Marconi. It is much closer than Central Station.
I caught the train to amazing places like Monopoli & Polignano a Mare.
I didn’t need to use the buses at all in Bari because I could walk everywhere I wanted to visit. The apartment is in a very lively area with lots going on in the evenings. There are lots of independent businesses in the streets around the apartment and I loved that. A thriving community. You really live like a local here, rather than a tourist. That is what I love about Airbnb.
There is a lot of storage space to hang your clothes and shoes. Perfect.
Nataliya collected me from and took me to the airport (which cost €20 each way). A great service.
The apartment is small but big enough for a couple and perfect for a solo traveller. It is furnished to a high standard and I recommend it to everybody. I will stay there again for sure.
Nataliya is very friendly and answers messages quickly. Thanks a lot for everything.
Bari is an amazing city and should not be overlooked. I loved it. I’ll be back.
