Alison's apartment is very well equiped: washing machine, dishwasher, ironer etc. ; everything is there and with clear instructions how to operate it. Also a relatively spacious kitchen. The apartment is very much suited for a longer stay because of all the ammenities.
The court yard is a bit messy now, because of some building works going on in the neighboring apartment. But I expect this to be a very temporary situation.
For us the location of the apartment was ideal. Ideal in terms of central location in the Salento. But also centrally located within the 'centro storico' of Nardó, so shops and restuarants are al within a small walking distance.
