We stayed in Maria’s studio for 4 nights, and appreciated that Maria really cared about her guests!
The space is quite small for two people for longer stay. There is no Air conditioning, only a fan, we stayed during the day and it was quite hot at night too. The kitchen has no dishwasher, so it might not be ideal if you consider cooking and cleaning as the kitchen surface is quite small. The laundry machine is shared with the neighbor. The space was separated from a living room with another neighbor by a mattress, so we heard the neighbour’s watching TV sometimes.
But there are some bonuses: the wifi speed was super fast, really clean and tidy room, Maria also greeted us with some fresh fruits which was much appreciated!
Overall we gave a 5 star review because Maria is really helpful with local recommendations, providing us an extra desk and chair, and iron machine, etc. Plus Maria is really flexible with checking in earlier. The location is in the countryside, 15 mins by car to the center of Monopoli. We like the garden and the countryside there! Based on this, we really appreciated!
