Lena remained available during my stay to address my queries.
Her apartment is greatly located, 10 min from train and ‘Salento in bus’ stations while directly in the historic center, in a very lively street with pubs and restaurants. ( which means the place can be noisy)
Apartment is soberly decorated, and furnished, but I could find all needed facilities and had this sort of feeling to be in a real foyer.
The is no air conditioning but I could find 2 old fans, which helped a bit.
Also to note: there is no lift and access to the apartment requires to climb a decent number of stairs. But the nice view on the terrace and opportunity to see behind the building behind the front wall is worth it.
