We loved everything about our 6 day stay at Cristina's in Lecce.
First, the apartment is in an ideal location. It's in the heart of old town (steps away from all sites, restaurants, and grocery stores), yet faces a side street so is very peaceful. The apartment is on the 4th floor in a elevator-equipped building and we never heard any neighbors. It's a 15 min walk from the train station and rental car office.
The apartment itself has everything you need. Appliances are clean and new; there's lovely natural light in every room, strong WiFi, a firm bed, dark shades for night time, and a washing machine.
Cristina is also a warm host. She's quick to laugh, fast with responses, and on time. She kindly helped us receive some mail, and checked on us to see how we were doing. She introduced us to a local Salento dish, and if you're lucky you may even get to visit the traditional hand-weaving studio she runs in the countryside.
Her place was such a nice home-away-from-home. This was a trip we won't soon forget.
