Simona was amazing, great communication before I arrived and throughout my stay. This was important for me because I was traveling from New York and was worried about arriving a day late. The apartment it self was actually better then the pictures! Modern and super clean, located perfectly between the beaches and the center of Taranto, both less then 5 minutes away. Great place for a beach weekend or extend stay while working in and around Taranto. Simona was extremely helpful and always available. Additionally, the condo is setback from the main road which makes it extremely quiet, private, and secure. Simona made sure there were snacks for breakfast, coffee, water, and even a beer in the fridge! I can not say enough great things about my experience. Finally, one of the most important things for me was internet. I work from home and use the internet for everything. The internet was lightening fast and extremely stable, I found this to be considered a luxury throughout my travels in around Europe. I would definitely stay with Simona the next time I travel to Taranto!
