This apartment is probably one of the best AirBnB apartments we have stayed in, quiet, spacious, very well equipped and had the most comfortable bed with soft pillows we have found during our ten weeks in Italy (we slept in the back bedroom with the balcony). It actually has three balconies, one off the living room overlooking the street, the one off the bedroom which is large and a nice place to sit in the afternoon sun, even at the end of November, and a utility area outside the kitchen, where the washing machine lives. The kitchen has just about every bit of equipment one could want, including a blender which has been a rarity on this trip. The heating works well, yet we were able to keep the bedroom cool for the night. As for the garage space, we managed to park our Skoda Octavia wagon in there without too much trouble - though you do have to be fairly skinny to get out of the car once parked! Lecce has a fine historic centre with lots of wonderful baroque churches etc and all is within a very short walk from the apartment; a very pleasant city to wander around. And for convenient food shopping there is a well stocked supermercato a couple of hundred yards down the road. And for the gourmand there is an endless choice of cafes, trattorie and ristorante. If ever we go back to Lecce, which is probably not very likely as we weren’t so keen on the surrounding countryside, apart from the Adriatic coast road down to the tip of the “heel”, we would not hesitate in staying here again.
