We had a wonderful few days in Bari staying at Alessandro's apartment. Umberto, Alessandro's co-host welcomed us and beforehand sent us all sorts of useful tips and recommendations on what to see and do in Bari. He was very kind and flexible with the check -in when we arrived later than expected. The apartment is in a great location with shops and restaurants all around and a lovely public beach very near. It's also only a 15/20 minute walk from the train station and old city center. Spacious and comfortable. Recommended!
