Host is very good in English and was able to solve our problem on very late check-in after car failure, so big thumbs up for that. Apartment itself is in pretty good spot, about 15 minutes walk from the port/old town, but very close to supermarket which is a lot harder to find in the oldtown/central area. Also it is around 20 minutes from Bari centrale (main) buses and train station. So in terms of practicality it is very good spot. Also there are few very good pizza places 10 minutes walk away (like top 30 out of 1000 places to eat in Bari). Flat itself is pretty good, there is a lot of space, a living room and bedroom. Bedroom is not very private since one room is split into two floors and there is no physical walls between (other bed is above first one, you have to walk to it using stairs), so if you are two couples you won't get much privacy. But the big plus is air conditioning (never underestimate summers in Bari, air conditioning is a must during the night). So even though some furniture is a bit cracking,it is good in terms of the physical place. Kitchen is fully equipped, you can make everything you want in it without a problem. There is a small balcony but it is only for drying some towels and stuff, since there is no view. All in all not bad at all
