If you want an authentic Bari Vecchia experience do not hesitate to book Irene's place. You will have a nice and clean cosy room, a confy bed, in a very specific local old house, but with all you need, right in the middle of Bari Vecchia, at few steps from Basilica San Nicola (in fact at a walking distance from everything, including train station). The bottle of local wine and especially the bottles of water were a nice touch for tourists arriving in the middle of the night.Self check in and check out very easy. Communication with Irene via whatsapp was also very good (she initiated on Airbnb system the booking of an extra-night which the system seemed not allowing me to do and I had so the chance to spend almost two days there which were the minimum necessary to really enjoy Bari Vecchia).
