Though Matteo was very flexible with the check in and communicative, we were very disappointed by what was offered to us for this price! The appartment was located very central next to a square with little shops and typical salento style housed, but: directly next to a street where motorbikes and cars were passing by, literally next to the bed. It was very noisy during daytime, and it smelled terribly from the sewers due to the bad canalisation system. Even though we share a high interest in traditional culture and found this ‚cave like‘ setting somewhat exciting, we had a hard time spending 5 full days there without getting depressed. It is not recommendable as a long time rental, and half of the offered price would have been more than enough!
Last but not least: We had to pay extra charges of 35€ For the towels, and the kitchen was not even equipped with the minimum of hospitality, like salt/pepper/oil/vinegar….
I have definitely expected more of hospitality. A total ripp off for naive tourists.
