We enjoyed our stay in Bari. Giuliano communicated well and met us at the apartment to check-in. He also provided a helpful info booklet PDF with some absolutely spot-on recommendations for where to eat. (Murattiana in old town is the best pizza we’ve ever had!) The apartment is very convenient to the beach; just a short walk across the street. The beach is nice but very crowded and the water is only waist high in the lagoon out to the rocks. The walk from the apartment into old town is about 25 mins along the water. It’s flat, easy and fun. We definitely enjoyed exploring old town and the nightlife scene in Bari is lively as advertised. The apartment has everything you need for a short stay and it was fun to relax on the porch overlooking the water. If it had a few more homey touches it would be a bit more comfortable but for a short stay it worked great.
