Exactly what you want from a host. Luca's dad met us for a late check-in (22:00) and was great. We had accidently driven into a restricted zone where only residents could drive (difficult to notice the signs) but Luca's dad took my details and sorted out all out for us.
Great suggestions about where to eat and visit and we're just generally great hosts.
The location of the apartment was fantastic and a wonderful place to explore Lecce and beyond.
I would recommend hiring bikes and taking a day or two to explore.
thanks for a great stay
