We stayed at Paolo’s place in late August, the place was super charming as well as the whole surrounding (cathedral, neat streets,restaurants and shops). The apartment was very comfy, nice and clean with lovely local home decor. The area has a nice neighborhood -chilly and quiet, sedate - however with quick access to more popular/crowded city hall streets full of wine bars and restaurants. Balcony view is brilliant, perfect for peaceful night stays or early morning sunrises along with coffee. Definitely will visit back in the future! Paolo is such a nice host, full of helpful tips on how to explore area and recommendations for the best traditional food nearby. Me and my girlfriend were happy for the stay and impressed each day with this summer Monopoli experience :)
