The flat is right in the heart of Lecce so it's a great base for exploring the city. It's exactly as it looks on the listing, quite a higgledy-piggledy layout but it was fine for us as a family. There's plenty of light and high ceilings so it feels airy and the views from the roof terrace are beautiful.

Being so central it can be noisy at night. Luckily it has air conditioning in the central space that connects all the other rooms and that made for good nights' sleep.

Antonella provides washing powder and dishwasher tablets which is helpful and everything worked very well. We cooked a couple of times and would have welcomed a few more basic kitchen utensils to help with that.

If visitors have a car, Antonella suggested the car park at Via Adua but we have a tip because that can get full easily. We parked a couple of streets away, across the Viale dell'Universita (sort of "outside the city walls"), where parking was safe, free and plentiful.
