My wife and I stayed one month in Giovanni's apartment in Lecce. Giovanni was always available (on phone or in person) to answer questions, offer suggestions, explain a procedure, etc. When we first arrived, he took the time to help us with restaurants and cafes that were all within an easy walk from our apartment. He was there when we pulled in and assisted us with our luggage.
Giovanni guided us through the Lecce parking situation so we knew where we could park for free and the car would be safe.
On one particular embarrassing situation when I locked the key IN the apartment, Giovanni arrived at the apartment after a very short wait to let us in. THANK YOU AGAIN, Giovanni!!!!
The apartment itself was very large with a terrific kitchen and a dining area. There were two bathrooms and an upstairs bedroom. The television in the living room worked well once Giovanni provided instruction. The air conditioner in the bedroom worked very well on a couple of very warm nights. The fridge and the stove worked very well. There was plenty of hot water for the dishwasher, sinks and showers.
Before we arrived in Lecce, our previous stop was in Venezia. It took us about a week to go from the nuances of one apartment to another, but everything fell into place and worked quite well.
I cannot say enough about Giovanni. He was an extremely friendly, knowledgeable and resourceful person who cared about the feelings and needs of the people who rented his apartment. He was a wonderful host.
