We had a great stay in Paola's apartment. Even though we did not meet Paola she provided us with all the informationI we needed to enjoy our stay in Bari. The apartment is just a short stroll from the seafront promenade and you can walk to the beach in a few minutes and walk to the old town of Bari in about 25 minutes. There are plenty of shops and cafes in the neighbourhood. The apartment itself was really clean and comfortable. Although the kitchen is quite small it has everything you need. The only drawback for me with the apartment was that it didn't have a washing machine...as we would have liked to do some laundry before travelling onwards from Bari.
I would thoroughly recommend staying here if you come to Bari.
