Luiz is very kind and an excellent host who really makes everything convenient and easy for guests, and goes above and beyond with thoughtful touches, like handmade guides for guests and even an assortment of umbrellas for guests to use if it rains. His cats, Jojo and Paulino are very friendly and sweet, and make the house extra cozy. The self-check-in is both very flexible and also fun! I actually love the idea and wish hosts in other cities would use it too, it takes a lot of the pressure off when it comes to arriving at a certain time and finding the place. The apartment is really clean, the bed is so comfortable, and the environment is peaceful for guests who came a long way and need some rest. It's also very close to pane e pomodoro, the local beach, so for guests coming to Bari for just a day, it's a convenient starting point for a walk down lungomare to the old city, while for longer stays the train is even closer so you can reach local small cities! Definitely recommend!
