Mariagrazia was welcoming and graceful, she was thorough in showing us the house; she's certainly a great and respectful host.

The house was clean and fully equipped; however, two things ruined our experience. First, the house is extremely hot: summer in Taranto is hot (I know, I'm from there myself), reaching temperatures of 38 and more degrees. The apartment is right under the roof, and the ceiling fans are not enough ventilation; nights are the most excruciating and we could barely sleep from the heat. Moreover, the wifi is abysmal: it's basically a misconfigured repeater from the host's router two stories down; it didn't work most of the time and when it did, only in the kitchen and at terrible speed. Can't blame the host for heat, but be warned that for someone not used to that kind of heat, it could be a real problem.
