Monopoli is a really charming town, an unspoilt maze of narrow streets and squares - spotlessly clean, safe and beautifully lit at night. The house is in a perfect position, in a tiny, quiet square next to a church in the historic town centre - and just a few minutes' walk to the sea-front and numerous restaurants. Travel to other towns and villages is easy by public transport (20 minutes' walk to the train station) and Michele's family provides an excellent welcome and taxi service. The house is on four floors including a roof terrace, (all upper floors accessed by a narrow spiral staircase) and it's spotless. Beds are very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for basic catering. We didn't meet Michele but communication was absolutely excellent - replies to queries were instant. We highly recommend this airbnb to anyone wanting to explore the towns and villages of Puglia.
