Giuseppe was friendly and gave recommendations. The apartment is located right in the heart of Monopoli but in a quiet street. Very good; close by the station and a ten minute walk to the beach and most restaurants. Good shopping nearby for groceries, meat etc.
However, I was disappointed that Giuseppe (the host) charged 1 euro extra in cash per person per night, since this is not mentioned on the listing. I was also disappointed that the wifi didn't work, only one burners on the cooker works Giuseppe didn't fix either, though I requested it. The toilet seat was broken and one of the balcony chairs was broken and wobbly so I ended up accidentally breaking it and almost fell down. Basic cooking utensils like chopping board, knives, corkscrew, pepper was missing. Giuseppe did provide this upon request, however.
Overall I had a quite pleasant stay and would recommend.
