Irenes place is so cute! It’s in the middle of the old city, where you can blissfully lose a day just walking around the beautiful alleys discovering foods and crafts, eating gelato and pizza. The sandy beach is about a 25 minute walk, but there are spots you can jump into closer, stairs go down right off the boardwalk. It’s about a 15 minute walk from the train station, and the shopping streets are also nearby. There are no windows which I thought would bother me but it really didn’t! The bathroom is a quirky little setup that just works..! Irene is lovely!! She was so helpful and caring and you should check her shop out for some adorable local artisanal gifts so leave some space in your luggage :) I would definitely come back to this unit if I’m ever back in Bari.
