We would endorse what all the other reviews say about Giovanni. His responses were always very fast and helpful, he picked us up from the train station, gave us very helpful tips about Lecce and went out of his way to set the heating up when we were a bit chilly. The location of the apartment is ideal for exploring Lecce and the Salento peninsula. In truth the apartment was a bit large for just the two of us and the spiral staircase a bit trickier than we expected , although there are other sleeping options that don’t involve it. Overall can understand why others rave about the accommodation even though it wasn’t quite right for us.
