We stayed a week in Lecce and loved the apartment, city, and area. Giovanni is a great host and made sure that our stay was comfortable. He also provided some great recommendations for restaurants and sites to see. The apartment is right on the edge of the historic center, so walking to restaurants, bars, shops, and historic sites is easy. Also, the train station is within walking distance. The apartment was clean, nicely furnished, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. And the patio overseeing the cathedral is fantastic! The apartment is in an older building, so climbing several flights of stairs is required and may be difficult for some. Overall, we recommend and hope to some day return. Thanks again to Giovanni for the great hospitality!
