Andrea’s apartment is a fantastic haven for those wishing to be away from the buzz of downtown Bari. It is close to the main station - Bari Centrale (15 mins or less). Really close to supermarkets where you can purchase everything (2 minutes away). Local restaurants that actually offer better fare than those from the Old Town (Terranima- outstanding service and food).
It consist of a spacious bedroom with a really comfortable bed with fresh linens. He provided soap, slippers and towels as part of the deal. The apartment block has an elevator and the apartment we stayed in had massive balcony to sit, eat food, drink wine and watch the day go by. The area is pretty safe (it is secure with only resident key - 2 doors to get into the actual building) and quiet at night. It is very clean.
It has air conditioning, television x 2, small fridge , small induction hob, plates, cutlery, cups and an electric oven, toaster and kettle. He also allowed me use of an iron/ board which he left at the apartment.
For those that are light sleepers please note that in this area of Italy - every morning the garbage is collected and therefore you can hear it in the flat as the road is just outside your balcony (do not complain about it- as otherwise you’ll be complaining about the rubbish not being picked up). It is also an apartment therefore you can hear all the noise of other flats, the rules of the accommodation is that there is noise to be had after eleven at night.
Andrea is very responsive and instructions for check in and check out are very easy. He is very accommodating and helpful. All of my dealings with him was either via WhatsApp or the Airbnb app.
