When I arrived at the flat Mario greeted me with some tea and a slice of cake. We had a very nice chat. Throughout my stay he was welcoming and helpful about things to do and where to eat in and around Bari. Communication was always swift and clear. The room itself is clean and lovely. It has a small balcony and the bathroom is really new. The location for me was perfect: 10 minutes on foot to the train station (from where you can go to nice seaside towns like Polignano a Mare and Monopoli) and 20 minutes to the city center. There is a supermarket right next to the apartment and nice cafés and pubs in the area. I had a great time in Bari!
