Important Disclaimer: There was a big problem for us that hopefully will be resolved soon, since the place is really special. The walls were moldy, causing a terrible smell and making breathing difficult. Despite that, we were delighted with the unique location and left with a positive impression.
The apartment is generally ok, recently renovated, practical and fairly comfortable. But the magic starts once you open the door, and you find yourself in the middle of the old city, surrounded by loud neighbors talking in the local dialect from very early in the morning until late at night, the sound of the church bells, the smell of fresh laundry, the beautiful markets and local shops, an amazing view of the sea, and the best "focaccia barese" you will ever try. It's all just a few steps away.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, maybe you should stay in a different town. But for an incredible local experience that feels as if you're in another era or in a movie, this place is perfect
