The apartment is in a great quiet location but close enough to the action of the main town. Francesco was very friendly and was responsive via the app and offered some good tips on where to go. The ceiling in the space is traditional and really beautiful, unique to lecce. There is a washing machine which is great for those traveling for a while.
There are a few downsides unfortunately. The WiFi is very slow often hardly works which was an issue as I was trying to fit some work in in the mornings. I did explain this and they said it’s because of the thick walls so if you’re not relying on the WiFi then it’s less of an issue. The other thing is that there is a constant buzzing noise which was not the fridge or air con so I had a bit of trouble sleeping. The aircon works really well downstairs but the cool air doesn’t rise up to the mezzanine so the bedroom area was still quite hot and I was not even in the peak of summer. The shower is quite low and the pressure is not great so if you’re taller than 173cm you will hit your head! The kitchen could certainly do with some improvement it’s very uninspiring but I did not cook there so it wasn’t much of an issue for me. Something minor but the back of the microwave faces the main living area so perhaps if they move it somewhere else it might improve the feeling of the space. Overall it’s a good place to stay but some improvement in a few things would help!
