Stella's place is equipped with most of the things you need to have a comfortable stay. It's very close to the Rotonda beach - rocks and pebbles beach (shallow water, great for small kids), supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and the train station (15 min walk). Stella was kind enough to wait for us at the airport and helped us get a taxi when we left. She greeted us with things for our child, which was a lovely gesture. The only thing that could be improved, and the host is aware of and working to fix it, is some mold in the dinning room and bedroom. We had a pleasant stay at Stella's, the host was very kind and helpful and the area is an ok aternative to the busy Bari main town. You have hourly trains to go to Bari, Polignamo a Mare etc. The connection to the airport is a bit tricky, you either get a 20-30 euro ride with a taxi, or you get a train/bus to Bari then go back to Santo Spirito.
