I cannot say enough nice things about Francesco and mariantonietta and their space!
The apartment is easy to reach from the airport, it is located only 3 streets from the train. The center of bari is easily reachable by train, bus, or foot.
The apartment itself was lovely, very clean and had everything you need. It was also huge! Much larger than I expected. The beds are very large, maybe a king in the master, and not smaller beds pushed together. The apartment is equipped with a.c. but i didn't need it, because the window shutters keep the apartment cool. There are 2 small patios, great for having a glass of wine at night.
Now the hosts, these 2 are such nice people. I travel a lot and generally have good experiences but these 2 went above and beyond. They were very communicative. They got the apartment ready early so I could check in early. They had maps of the city and spent at least 10 minutes showing me where to go and how to get there, what to see, what buses to take. I had a late flight leaving the city but checkout is in the morning so they offered to keep my luggage at their home for me to pick up later! Then, they printed my boarding pass!!! If I ever return to bari I know where to stay.
Fantastic experience. Thank you Francesco and Mariantonietta !
