Lucia and her son Fabio were great hosts. Lucia even came to pick me up from the station and brought me to the flat. Then they were very helpful with showing me what to do & see in Bari and the surrounding areas. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Whilst being a ~15 min walk into town, I liked the area as it was full of local shops and eateries. What I will say is the front door opens straight into the kitchen/hallway, which is open plan (no doors except for the bathroom) and so if you leave the window open you will hear street noise, which can include a lot of horns being beeped at any time of night. The combi washer/dryer was a nice surprise, and the heated towel rail in the bathroom was a bonus. Also, make sure you go to the 'wine on tap' place - 'Cash del Primitivo' just 2 mins down the road on Via G. Petroni!
