Paola is an exceptional host who quickly responded to any of our request. The apartment is spacious, extremely clean and strategically located in the Madonella neighborhood of Bari, just one block from the Adriatic and a 10-15 minute walk to Cento and Bari Vecchia. There is a lovely private courtyard with a garden that includes a lemon and orange tree, and Rosemary. For us the neighborhood was perfect as we love to shop at the local family owned stores and these are on every block in the Madonella.
