Audrey's apartment is a perfect base for a weeklong vacation in Otranto. It's in a residential neighborhood which is much quieter than town center, but is only about a 5 minute walk into the heart of town. There is one swimming area literally 1 minute from the back door, and at least 3 different beaches within a 10 minute walk. It's also only a few minutes walk to the Cathedral and Castle. The apartment is spacious, with three good sized bedrooms, and 2 baths and nearby off street parking. The photos on the Airbnb website really don't do the apartment justice, and it was in perfect condition when we arrived.
Audrey couldn't have been a more gracious host. We didn't arrive in Otranto until 1 in the morning, but Audrey generously offered to meet us to show us the way to the apartment - the navigation is a bit tricky - and to give us a brief orientation. She was quick to respond to texts and emails, made helpful suggestions for things we might like to do, and even made dinner reservations for us one night. She really exceeded our expectations of an Arirbnb host.
The only minor negative was the wifi - it has very weak reception - barely enough to retrieve simple emails - not enough power to download attachments. There are numerous cafes in town with more robust wifi, though we didn't find any with the speed we're used to in the U.S. So long as you're prepared to disconnect, you couldn't find a better place to stay.
