Giuliana's apartment was absolutely fantastic, I would stay here every time I come to Bari if I could. Short stays, long stays, the apartment is just perfect. It faces an internal courtyard so it's totally peaceful at night, but the building itself is right in the centre of town. There is a fantastic supermarket on the same block, one of the best bakeries in town is one block away, and there are loads of bars, restaurants and cafes within a two block radius. The apartment is very recently renovated and perfectly fresh. The kitchen is well-stocked, the wifi is reliable and quick enough, and the hot water works very well for short showers. Giuliana is a fantastic host, clearly explained everything, met me for check-in at very short notice, and was always responsive. The bed was comfortable and there were extra blankets provided too. Bare in mind, there is no washing machine, but there are one or two decent laundromats or dry-cleaners nearby.
