The main word which describes Elisa is hospitality. Besides accepting us in her apartment she prepared a pack of welcome gifts for us (and good-bye gifts as well).
Her daughter met us and was more than friendly and helpful. She gave us valuable advises.
Elisa's apartment is spacious, has everything needed and is in good location to explore the city of Bari. Make sure to visit the local butcher's and grocery stores - though the people there seldom speak anything other than Italian, they're really happy to help you in any way. And one last recommendation - Do try the pasticceria Visconti on the corner - great pastry and sweets by polite and helpful service - perfect company for a cup of coffee.
