Unfortunately I cannot recommend staying here, particularly in the summer months. There is no fan for the guest room and the heat is unbearable. There is no air-conditioning or access to drinking water, though the host did provide one bottle of cold water on arrival. The host has one fan which they take into their own room at night. I didn't sleep at all as it was like a sauna despite leaving my door wide open. There is very little privacy from the street as the shutters do not close fully. There is no mirror in the guest room. There is only cold water in the bath/ shower. Shampoo or body wash are not available to guests. I got a text less than 24 hours before I checked in asking if I had a green pass which is not something required to be shown to accomodation providers in Italy. The host then requested I bring proof of negative Covid test which luckily I was going to have regardless as I flew out the next day. If this is what they want from guests they need to make it explicit at the time of booking. I booked weeks before checking in and found the abrupt questioning quite rude. The apartment is 25 minutes walking from the old town centre, 15 minutes from Bari Centrale and 30 minutes from the beach Pane e Pomodoro. Yes, this is one of the cheapest rooms in town, but having spent over a week in Puglia I recommend staying in a smaller town or village outside Bari for the same price and a much better experience.
