I have six words: location, location, location + style, style, style! As others have said before, this is simply one of the nicest Airbnb places I've had the good fortune to encounter. The place is perfectly located just outside the old town but right around the corner from the trendy shopping/cafe/restaurant street of Lecce. It's also right around the coner from a swanky new parking facility - bit pricey but worth it. The apartment is stunning - beautifully decorated and superbly equipped. I rather wish my own home was this lovely! It is everything you would expect from an architect's eye for detail and style. Francesco was utterly charming: greeting us with warmth and care. There was some very lovely local Rosé in the fridge (along with water) and a bag of artisinal Taralli snacks. We run ourselves an Airbnb in Bern (Switzerland) which we think is pretty affordable and nice; this place takes things to another level!
