We really loved staying in the apartment. It’s architecturally unique with the vaulted stone ceilings and the internal outdoor area with plants that can be viewed off the bedroom and the shower. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking which we appreciated. The apartment was very comfortable and homey. We loved that it was quiet while at the same time in easy access of the lively historic area with restaurants and shops. Paulo and her husband were very helpful. My husband had his bike in a bike case with him. Paulo’s husband offered to meet us at the rail station and assisted us with the luggage. Very much appreciated assistance in initially getting settled. Once we were oriented, we found Lecce easy to get around by foot. We did rent a car for a few days and had a negative experience at the local Hertz car rental office. All the information verbal and written was only in Italian. We had prepaid and it included insurance but they billed us for insurance when we dropped the car off. We complained to Hertz and it was corrected. Everything about the apartment was wonderful though. Highly recommend this AirBnB to others.
