I really loved my stay at Mauro's. Communication was excellent from the point of booking up until the end of my stay, with very easy and flexible check in.
The room is exactly as described and I think it's worth noting that the room is completely self-contained with its own solid front door, so you don't need to pass through other living quarters to reach it. Having the balcony is an extra delight! And worth noting that the wifi was excellent too and I was able to take a couple of work video calls here.
The location is great - very easy access to the train station and walking distance to the main sites in Brindisi. There are lots of nice cafe bars nearby and some really excellent restaurants within a 10 minute walk. As another traveller mentioned I felt very safe here, staying as a solo female traveller and walking around at night.
The breakfast at the local cafe is also a nice touch and a good reason to get up and out into the neighbourhood!
I highly recommend Mauro's place and will stay here next time I'm in Brindisi! Grazie Mauro!
