Gabriele is an extremely attentive, welcoming host. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and happy in his apartment. The apartment itself is superb, a stylish, tranquil place, with the bonus of its own private outdoor space. It is located roughly halfway between the railway station, and the old town, an easy ten minute walk to each. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Secret Garden for anyone planning to visit Bari.
