I stayed in Gustavo’s place for two nights. Overall, a very great spot for a visit to lecce. The apartment is very spacious, with a few different rooms with tons of open space and a queen bed & a couch. It is a bottom floor unit off of a very cute walking street in the historical center (definitely stay in this area!). The bed is in a lofted area (a narrow staircase to get up).
There is tons of interesting art throughout the apartment. Overall, there is not much natural light (basically dark when you close the door). There is a kitchen for cooking and a nice eating / small table outside the door in the communal courtyard (where the other residents park). There was coffee and crackers available to us. Parking is available a short walk away (just a few blocks). I parked on the street which was 60 cents an hour but usually there is a lot for 5€ a day but it was closed for an event.
If you are looking for a cool, spacious spot for yourself and a few other people (if needed) at a reasonable price, then Gustavo’s place is a good spot to base yourself to visit the beautiful city of lecce. Lecce is a must visit if you are in Puglia…Gustavo also recommended great restaurants and had great communication throughout the stay.
