This was one of the best apartments we've stayed in. Plenty of room (much bigger than the photos suggest), a fantastic private terrace, large comfy sofas, parking (almost) on the doorstep, delicious local pastries on arrival (pasticciotto - one of the best things of Lecce!) and a delightful and very friendly host, Luciana, to welcome us. Despite the language barrier (we speak only a little Italian), Luciana was joy to deal with. Farilla did the correspondence side of things, she always answered emails promptly and helpfully. The location is very good - a quiet street with little traffic and only a few minutes walk to everywhere you need to get to. Despite the heat (35 degrees C), the loft apartment was comfortable (with the aircon), and the terrace had a nice breeze. The church bells close by did ring quite a lot (day & night, not ideal) perhaps more so than usual due to the festival going on. In any case, it didn't affect our overall enjoyment of the apartment and Lecce. We would happily return.
