Alessandro's apartment was perfect for our stay in Bari. It's only a 15 minute walk from the train station and 20 minutes to the old part of the city. It's very close to walk down by the sea to enjoy the sunset and watch other people. We didn't use the kitchen to cook any meals, but it was well stocked with everything you'd need. Coffee and tea are available and refrigeration to store food. Alessandro is very good at communicating in English and gets right back with you to help in any way. I would recommend staying here.
