Filippo (and his mother, Gabriella) was/were a great connection and I recommend this listing to everyone! This apartment was amazing..small, quaint, stylish, extra clean, perfect amenities in the home (coffee/water, full use of kitchen, linens, & bath items), and exactly what we were looking for. Gabriella was extremely helpful and communicated wonderfully with us throughout our stay to ensure that we were well and also helped us in getting a cab back to the airport when we left. The building is well protected/secure and the apt is located just a quick few steps up from the main entrance, which made it perfect for us while traveling with large suitcases and my wife's cane.
Location wise, the apt is located about 10-15 mins from Bari Centrale. You can walk back/forth to the center of Bari (which we did several times) or you can take the local bus to/from Center of town. The bus that brings you back drops you off literally right outside the building and is only 1 Euro. The bus that takes you to town is located a block up and is 1,50 Euro. Please do yourself a favor and go eat at Pizza Mancini, which is located just two blocks away. Patricia and her family are delightful and have some of the best local food. The local large food mart, EuroSpin, is located right down the street, so anything you need is located at arms reach.
We LITERALLY couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you so much for everything.
