Fausto is a very kind and welcoming host, he gave us tips about where to eat in the area etc., always responded to our messages and checked with us a couple of times during of our stay that everything was ok. The apartment: The private area of the apartment is not very big (it was fine for us as 2 people) but there is a larger communal lounge area (plus huge rooftop terrace).
Pros:
- Location is amazing, 10 minutes by foot to Lecce historic city centre, and nice views from the terrace
- Apartment is mostly well furnished with towels, hand soap, a lot of wardrobe space, cooking equipment etc.
Cons:
- Very noisy due to the roundabout directly outside, and thin walls to the next door apartment - bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper
- Parking space is an “unofficial” place on the street. This was fine for us although would be a challenge if you have a big car or want somewhere secure to park
- Shower is very small and with no screen so bathroom floor gets soaked if you are not careful
Also, no hairdryer or shampoo were provided (although stated in the description), however the host did provide this later when we asked. All in all, a fine budget option for a few nights in Lecce.
