Maira's apartment is actually far nicer than any of the photos. The location is stunning and is steps away from a bridge built by the Roman empire, as well as Lama Monachile Cala Porto Beach, one of the most picturesque beaches I've ever seen. You can walk to the old section of Polignano a Mare in minutes. Check in was incredibly easy. We had arranged for parking with Maira, and because we were arriving during a festival when many of the streets were blocked off. Consequently, Maira arranged to meet us at the parking location a few hundred meters away, and then helped us with our luggage in getting back to her building. It was a wonderful experience staying at her unit.
