Poor value for money, the cons outweigh the pros.
- the apartment is so TERRIBLY NOISY! And believe me, I'm not exaggerating. the windows overlook a very noisy road, the traffic on which is active both day and night. the noise makes it impossible you even to live, let alone sleep - sleep is simply impossible. and it's impossible to close the windows as well - because at +35 it's easier to just die.
- so the fact that there is no air conditioning was stated however the fact of the terrible noise no. the choice between dying of stuffiness or staying up at night is a bad choice.
- the area is one of the worst in Bari, according to the locals and according to my observations. Very dirty, very noisy. Relatively close to the old town, but far from the station. I would advise you to stay in the Murat area instead - it's much better.
- weak water pressure in the shower
- when we arrived we found out that the other bed (so mean the sofa) is not ready and broken. We said about it to the host and they came to fix that. If fact they did not fix it but at least it was possible to sleep on.
The other day the host sent me multiple messages and called several times because the appartament is on sale and they wanted to show it to somebody.
- the last thing is that when we left the flat we forgot one bag with some clothes. And I said about it to the host in evening. Day after she said me that the bag was threw away! But how is this possible to throw away a bag with new clothes??? Without saying anything to the client??? First time it happened to me. Usually if a forget something hosts ask me if I need it bag and I can come back, otherwise I say no they can do anything they want.
I think this is a terrible disrespect to the client.
+ The apartment is large
+ well equipped, has almost everything you need
+ may be suitable for short stays like 2-3 days to visit only Bari Vecchia
