I had a lovely stay at Maria and Franco's place in Monopoli. Franco kindly picked me up from the train station when I arrived and showed me everything I needed to know for my stay, including information for any day trips I might wish to take. The location of the flat is great - very close to the beach and the old town, perfect for exploring the city. The apartment has all the necessary amenities, including a washing machine which the host is happy for guests to use, and a small private balcony, which I really enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this place!
