The apartment is situated perfectly for those of you who are arriving without a car and are planning to discover Puglia via public transport - the train station as well as the bus stops (Alberobello, airport) are within the 10 minute walking distance. The area (which is residential) itself is not the 'nicest' of the city, since it is so close to the train station, but I did not encounter any issues even though I was traveling alone and often coming back in the late hours. There is a pretty nice coffee bar a couple of minutes from the apartment as well as a supermarket / pharmacy / cheap beauty store nearby. In terms of the cleanliness, the apartment is kept rather well; your personal experience will eventually depend on the neighbours you will be sharing this 3-room flat with. The towels and the bed linen were all nice and fresh. The apartment also has quite a few utensils (drying rack, washing powder, lint roller, scissors, basic condiments in the kitchen) which is handy for a 1-week and more stays. The arrival went rather well, although I did have to pay the extra 10 EUR for an earlier checkin, which is a debatable condition. The checkout could not have been any easier. Overall, the communication with the two hosts was very smooth, I felt like they were there should their assistance be needed. I would recommend this Airbnb based on its price/quality, especially for those wishing to discover the region by public transport.
