Firstly, Loredana was an excellent host who wanted to be sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed….and we certainly did. Communication was very good, she was very responsive and checking in was easy, albeit a little later than we’d have expected (6pm).
The apartment was absolutely spotless with a fully equipped kitchen, which included a coffee machine for which Loredana provided free capsules. The interior was like being in a modern outfitted cave, like something you’d find in Matera. It’s location is perfect, just 5 minutes walk to the old town and, in the opposite direction, 10 minutes walk to the railway station if you wish to visit some of the other coastal towns without the hassle of finding parking. There’s a small courtyard out the back with table and chairs (though the weather didn’t give us the opportunity to use it) along with an outdoor laundry, with hand basin and both washing machine AND dryer!
The smart TV was also great to have and since we were forced indoors quite a bit by the weather, being able to access Netflix was a bit of a saviour. Loredana also provided little extras like liquid soap, detergent, cooking condiments, etc. If you are coming by car, free parking is available on the street and we didn’t have much trouble finding a spot. And a massive plus is that is is so quiet, something often difficult to find in Italy.
We wholeheartedly recommend Loredana and her apartment.
