If you are thinking of visiting Lecce, this is the place to stay!
Gianluca and Ivana are really lovely people and we felt very welcomed from the very beginning, they even picked us up from the train station and accompanied us when we left!
The flat is adorable and perfect to explore Lecce, it is situated down town but not in a busy road, so it is very quiet: perfect for sleeping and recharging batteries. The flat has everything you may need for a short stay, its furnished with good elegant furniture, comfy bed and plenty of sofas to lounge and read. Also great is the book selection about Salento and Lecce, which meant we could go back home and read about all the sights we had visited during the day.
The flat is also perfectly located if you want to take day-trips by public transport. We visited Otranto, Gallipoli and several local beaches by taking buses. The nearest stop to the flat is only 8 minutes walk away. This was great for us, as we cannot drive and the bus service was cheap and frequent.
Don't forget to check the Airbnb site for Ivana and Gianluca's restaurant recommendations: we went to two restaurants from their list and they were both excellent.
Viva la Puglia!
