We really enjoyed the apartment. The location was great, it felt safe, it was very easy to access any amenities (restaurants and stores). The apartment itself is huge. There are basically 3 sleeping spaces, could easily fit 2 couples or families. The apartment is bright and spacious. There are 2 balconies, one smaller one off the upstairs bedroom and one larger one just a bit outside the bedroom. Amazing views! The house is old, so there are some things that are common in old houses - the bathrooms are old, but better than the pictures show. There was slight the smell in the downstairs bathroom, but this is not a cleanliness issue, everything was perfectly clean. It’s in old house issue. The apartment was also mostly very quiet, despite being close to the busy area. I should mention that at this time (May 2018), there was some work being done on the neighboring houses, which woke us up at 8am most mornings. It wasn’t a big deal for us, as our daughter would be up around that time anyway. The biggest asset to the house is Giuliana herself. She is super friendly, super helpful, just a great host. She gave us great hints on the beaches to visit, restaurants, how to get around. She was always available if we needed her. Just a tip about Lecce (and the rest of Italy, I assume) if traveling with small children - most restaurants are open for dinner only after 7:30 or 8:00 pm. This was a huge issue for us, as our 3 year old could not wait that long to eat dinner. Luckily, Urban Cafe in the little square just in front of the apartment served food all day. It was great to have a kitchen to be able to prepare some food for her before we went out for dinner. All in all, we had a great time in Lecce and really enjoyed our time in Giuliana’s apartment.
