Maria greeted us and made an effort to communicate with us using an app, she was a lovely lady and very welcoming. Unfortunately the rest of the stay was not so good, the bathroom bin had not been emptied from previous guests and was still not emptied when we left, there was building works going on from very early in the morning which was noisy and in addition the cleaners started cleaning early on banging outside the bedrooms and hoovering and even tried to enter the room without knocking. The location is fine as a base to explore Bari, Polignano and Monopoli. The train station at the bottom of the road was useful to access Bari. There was a nice pizza restaurant and supermarket at the top of the road.
