We were a group of four, having a few days in Bari. We chose to stay at Massimo's apartment, which is very close to the promenade and is also within easy walking distance to the Port, Old town, main shopping area & railway station.
The apartment was very nice and comfortable, and had everything you need, except for a kettle? which, for us Brits is generally an essential appliance in the kitchen! We reverted to boiling a pan to make our morning coffee, so it wasn't that much of an issue.
The only real negative (which is out of the owners control) , was the outside noise coming from some builders, who seem to think it's acceptable to start hammering away at 7 o'clock in the morning? Also, the neighbours in the apartment adjoining the rear bedroom like to have their TV or radio blasting out early in the morning, having it so loud that they have to shout at each other to have a conversation!
If it wasn't for the noise coming from outside the apartment, we would have given the apartment an overall rating of 5 stars.
