If you want to feel real atmosphere of Bari's Old town, you should defenitely choose Nicola's apartment :). Great localization - close to railway station and port. Apartment has only one window above door - it means two things: it's dark inside and quite hot (but there are 3 fans). For us it wasn't disadvantage, we get used to that, although for someone might be inconvenient. If not, don't bother to visit Nicola as he is great host! He left us tips where to go and eat. Also he took care about us during our staying - we really enjoyed our time at Nicola's apartment :)
