John is truly a super host and provided excellent support during our month-long stay. The location is fantastic as it is well within walking distance to all sights in the old town of Lecce, but it also makes it easy to explore the Puglia region with day trips. John notified the local authorities that we would be driving to the apartment (traffic limited zone) to drop off our bags and park for short periods there. We were able to park our car at a public lot within 5 minutes walk from the apartment, at a cost of 5 € per day.
We felt as living like locals, really authentic Pugliese living. Lecce folks are extremely friendly, many restaurants nearby with excellent quality and very reasonable prices and many sights to explore!
John provides an outstanding breakfast (included) which he prepares daily and consists of juice, fruit, yogurt, croissants, bread, prosciutto, and a couple of treats that he surprises you with! Really quite extensive, fresh and delicious!
In summary, John provides personal service, tips on local restaurants as well as suggestions for other nearby towns. Staying here was like visiting with friends or family, it was great!
