Mina was very kind and helpfull with us, but this flat wasn't a good choice for us.
With 2 retired people and with a baby this apartment is very uncomfortable, sometimes dangerous:-(.
There are more very steep stairs with low ceiling height in the flat (typical, authentic Apulian flat).
The rooms open out of each others, the kitchen has minimum equipment.
And the train run very close to the flat, it's sometimes very loudly.
So we were glad with the kind hospitality, but next time if we go to Monopoli, we are going to choose another apartment... I think this flat is good for a young friendly group, but not for a family.
