We had a beautiful time in Bari and this was in part because we stayed at Alina. The place is pretty close to the Bari Centrale (the railway station and the bus station), so we could travel here and there very easy. It is also a 15 minute walk to the city's historical center, and most important, it is on a very quiet street, so the location was perfect. Alina was very hospitable, provided us with all kind of information, even though she doesn't speak english (but translation apps rule). The room was clean and big, the only minus was that there's no air conditioning, and it was very hot in August. Regardless, she placed a big fan in the room so things were better. Even though it wasn't a problem for us you have to know that cannot use the kitchen except for the fridge. The apartment is located at the second floor and there's no elevator so beware of heavy luggage.
