Ale is the most lovely and welcoming host you could ever wish for. The apartment is compact but stylish and well designed. It is also very well equipped, with excellent air conditioning (essential for Bari in summer), great shower, kitchenette, washing machine and even a tumble dryer. It is very well located, very close to Bari Centrale station and still only 10-15 minutes walk to the attractions of the old town and seafront. There are several cafes nearby as well as several shops and convenience stores within a 10 minute walk. The bed is on the small side for 2 adults, especially if you are taller/larger than average. Otherwise the apartment is well designed, cosy and you will get a great welcome. We really liked the small touches like large bottles of water in the fridge, biscuits, bread and shampoo and conditioner etc.
