My family and I had a wonderful time in Monopoli and Giuseppe's apartment was in a perfect place--close enough to walk to restaurants and stores and the center of town, while still being just removed enough to be on a quiet street. The building is secure with a separate key to enter the building and a quick walk up one floor, and an elevator if needed. We met Giuseppe, his wife and daughter and they were all so kind and welcoming. At one point the wifi was disconnected, probably due to some bad weather, and they came over the same day to reset it. The apartment itself is very clean and the kitchen is stocked with plenty of pots, dishes, etc. If I could think of anything that may be a concern to others, the showers are very small and the heat is shut off in the afternoon for a couple of hours (maybe 14:00 to 17:00?) but that was not a problem for us. Also, although, it's a 4-bedroom apartment, since we were two couples and only used two bedrooms, the other two bedrooms were locked. Again, not a problem for us but, if you want to have an extra bedroom to store suitcases or for extra space, you may just need to ask for those to be unlocked. If I travel back to Monopoli, I would definitely try to rent Giuseppe's apartment again. Thanks to Giuseppe, his wife and daughter for making our stay so pleasant - and, special thanks to Giuseppe's daughter, Debora, for helping with translation, your English is excellent!
