Luiz was a great host and even provided breakfast foods, maps for different cities in the area and suggestions on what to eat/do in Bari. The apartment is big and so is the room. From the train station that is nearby you can easily make your way into Bari or to other cities like Monopoli, Lecce, Trani and Brindisi. I highly recommend Monopoli and Trani! Instead of taking a train into Bari you can also walk towards the beach and then turn left, there is a street along the ocean towards the old town. A nice (long) walk especially at sunset!
