We organised our holiday in Puglia around the availability of Mansarda, because we were so impressed with the listing and the photos on Airbnb. And we were not disappointed. In fact the apartment and terrace were even better than expected.
Fausto is extremely friendly and helpful; he speaks excellent English and made suggestions about what to do. Not only that, he has prepared a superb guide to the area and a map showing restaurants and bars. Also, not on Fausto's map is Il Rifugio della Buona Stella in Via Leonardo Prato, which we liked very much.
Back to the apartment, it is very well equipped and tastefully appointed. Mansarda is a 'must stay' destination a few minuts' walk from Piazza Duomo in the gorgeous historic centre of Lecce, which is not too overrun with tourists (at least, not when we stayed at the end of September... and no mosquitoes either!).
Tip: if you've had a good lunch and fancy a snack supper on the terrace, get a couple of slices from Pizza & Co on Via Giuseppe Libertini. It's just a 3-4 minute walk, and the massive pizza slices are around €3.
