We had a great stay at Marinella's apartment in Lecce over the new year period. Marinella was a very communicative and welcoming host, and was always helpful whenever we had questions. The apartment is very cozy and well equipped, with lots of space and is only a short walk from the old town. It was a perfect base for exploring the region (Gallipoli, Otranto, Ostuni) and we were able to park our car on the street nearby so that was also convenient. I would definitely recommend this place to other travellers.
