Gianluca's place was exactly as shown. It was in a quiet area but close to the historical centre so everything we wanted was in walking distance. The place was beautiful inside and we loved our time there and fell in love with Lecce. The shower was a little small but we knew that going in so it wasn't an issue at all.
The host Gianluca picked us up from the airport and also drove us back, which was great since public transportation wasn't the easiest in the Spring in Lecce. He also helped us out when we had to make an unfortunate trip to a local hospital. He arranged and called the taxi for us both and explained to the driver where we had to go since our Italian isn't that great. It was really nice to have someone to contact with any issues.
The only minor complaint we might have is that at times replying to our messages where a little slow, but we always heard back so that was good.
Overall, we'd love to go back to Lecce and would stay at this place again. Thank you so much for the great experience!
