This was one of my best airbnb experiences. Erika' s place is so cute, arty, lovely and beautifully furnished and decorated. I wish I had time to read some of the books! The kitchen is well equiped with everything needed to cook a simple meal (bring seasonings). It feels very homey. A few meters up the road is a small caseificio - cheese shop where we bought very tasty fresh ricotta, yoghurts and scamorza of their own production. Communication with Erika was perfect and her hospitality made ourstay really exceptional. She booked for us a tour of the cave churches (chiese rupestre) although I let her know last moment. The tour was very good and I highly recommend it - one gets a completely different idea of this city. Massafra is very lively place and worth a visit - and Erika' s place in an old house is a perfect base for exloring it. One can parkon freeparking spots around the house. But google maps directions are very bad and some roads very narrow do beware of it.
