My wife and myself have been staying in Airbnb’s for several years now, we’ve seen a lot (good and bad), but this one was by far the best experience we’ve ever had – I’m talking about both the apartment and the host herself!
The apartment: La Casa Colonica was renovated with great taste and extreme attention to detail – all old furniture beautifully refurbished, all new objects of really high quality. It’s a real gem, both the apartment and the location are exceptional. Some extras we weren’t expecting: maps of the entire Puglia region, timetables of trains to/from Mola di Bari, TP, towels, beverages in the fridge. Tips: the wall sockets are of type L; if you have type F plugs for some of your electronics (laptops, hair dryers etc.), there’s only 1 compatible socket (in the kitchen area), so you might want to bring along a type F to type L plug adapter.
Regarding the host: Gabriella is best host ever!!! No, really. She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, reliable and flexible, really attentive to our needs, always there to help. Asked about us every single day to see if everything was alright, and always came with recommendations regarding activities, restaurants, places to see. It was so reassuring for us to know that she would always be there to help if she could if there was anything we needed. It really feels like she really enjoys hosting people and it shows on both her attitude and the apartment itself. Thank you, Gabriella!
To sum it all up: highly, HIGHLY recommended!
