The apartment is located on the 12th floor of a building in suburbs of Bari.
The much-advertised terrace is not available for sunbathing, eating, or otherwise any activities, according to the actual host - a 60+ year old lady that owns the top floor.
Check-in was difficult, finding the correct address was difficult, after calling the host, which is pointed out on Airbnb as Michela, an Italian male answered the phone and when we asked to get some help to find the exact apartment, meaning that he would come to the bar located downstairs of the building, we were told no way, it's 20m you can find it. Extremely rude.
You have to call the actual host, the lady on the top floor, which provided us with the key and did the formalities of checking-in (since when does Airbnb hosts take your ID card details and write them down?).
What definitely ruined the mood was the lady showing us the terrace and explicitly mentioning (in Italian) you are not to use it for sunbathing and the part of the terrace that has a sea-view is "off-limits", as that one belongs to her. So why are there pictures of it in the announcement?
The shower stopped working on day two and we had only cold water. We couldn't get hold of the host to solve the problem as it was almost midnight. Cold shower.
The most annoying was that we called next day and kindly asked to have some wineglasses, as we had bought a nice bottle of Italian wine and there were only regular glasses for water in the cupboard. The host was extremely rude, almost to the point that i wanted to ask to leave earlier. So much for courtesy.
The fridge provided two bottles of water and in the kitchen just enough coffee pads so that two guests could have coffee for three days. Probably counted them even.
On the fourth day, we ran out of coffee.
There were supermarket cookies and croissants, but really uneatable and definitely not able to replace a breakfast, even in Italy.
Save you money and for the same price get a hotel. You get the same unfamiliar service.
Or try to find a real home-stay, owned by someone that care a bit more about their guests.
Really disappointed.
