Michele's family hospitality is exceptional! He does not live in Lecce, however his father and sister greeted us and explained everything when we arrived. The place is clean and super cozy. The separate kitchen with the high and long counter is super convenient for cooking and it is a rare find in Italy! You have everything you need for long stays. We were there for a month and did not lack a thing - there is even workout equipment! The two balconies where you could see the sunrise and the sunset are also a great asset. We always had breakfast or lunch on one of them :)
There was an issue with the shower at the beginning, but Michele and his dad did everything possible to fix it as quickly as possible, and we really felt their support. Communication with Michele was always fast and easy, and he recommended great places in Lecce. The apartment is located around 20min from the city center by walking. Supermarkets and a bakery are close. There is also a dog park nearby. There is a train which passes close to the apartment building, but you can't hear it. Internet consists of a pocket Wifi, which has a good connection, allowing two people to work from home without an issue for a month. We recommend Michele's place 100% and we would go back there if we are in Lecce again!
