They stay in Nicola's apartment was better than expected. The apartment is really clean with modern furniture and very nice big balcony where you can enjoy morning coffee or evening glass of wine. There is a bus stop near the flat, easy to get to the center of Bari. We loved how helpful and thoughtful Nicola was as a host (special thank to your mom for her delicious focaccia and to you and your father for the wine :) ). I can really recommend stay in Nicola's apartment for anyone looking to experience a real Italian holiday with proper atmosphere of the small harbor city :)
