Roberto and his friend were kind enough to prepare the place for us before it was supposed to be ready – I was feeling a bit ill that day and we had a big luggage, so this was very considerate. It was our second place to stay in Monopoli, so we already knew the city a little bit, and the location of the place was very convenient for us. The old town was just a few minutes away and the beaches were not far either. The apartment was very clean and cosy (and the tableware was especially pretty!). Roberto lives upstairs and was very helpful, giving us good tips on Monopoli (when he tells you about the burata place, pay attention). If you are a light and early sleeper, the noise from the street is a bit high, but in the night it's quiet. It was nice that Roberto and his friend met us at the check-out as well – that's a rare thing with Airbnb hosts. Overall, a great place to stay.
