We only met Lilia briefly when she welcomed us at her house, but she was very nice and friendly. The house is in a good location, right on the edge of the old and new town, but I have to say that the photos are a little misleading. We felt like we were jammed into one very small room (with just a bed) in amongst all of Lilia's stuff. The two bottom floors (with the lounge room, dining table, kitchen) were not for us to use at all and were pretty messy, and the "kitchen" upstairs for the guests to use was just an old stove and some pots, with no bench space, no sink, taps or water, no cutlery, no kettle etc. which made it impossible to use to actually cook or make anything, even a cup of tea or coffee. The bedroom where we stayed and the bathroom, despite being a bit cluttered with Lilia's things, were clean and usable. The bedroom is quite noisy though, with street noise. Despite Lilia being very nice and friendly she wouldn't give us any specific advice about restaurants etc just telling us to go and we would find things. So, we did and ended up wandering the back lanes, lost in areas the guidebooks say can be dangerous and not finding anywhere to eat.
We were also a littel upset when Lilia texted us and asked us to come back to the flat in the middle of our one day out in Bari to greet the next guests as she couldn't be there. She is, after all, the one being paid to do that, while we were on our holiday. When we declined, she was fine with it, but I found it an uncomfortable situation to be put in.
All in all, our bedroom and bathroom were clean, basic and functional. I would day that if you are passing through Bari for a night or two and need somewhere to rest your head, then this place is fine. If you want anything more than that then maybe this is not the place for you.
