Casa Giovanna is a great apartment to spend your holiday in Monopoli. It has everything you can ask for: a furnished kitchen, A/C for the warmer days, a TV and even a washing machine. The hosts were also delightful and gave us plenty of great suggestions for place to visits and things to do. There's only one thing to note about the apartment which was not immediately clear from the posting: the place is situated on the ground floor, directly accessible from the street. This means that the only way to get some air from the outside is the open the windows and doors that face either the street or a private courtyard. This wasn't a massive problem, but it would have been better to know before deciding on the place. Nonetheless, it felt very private and safe. Another point of improvement is in the services provided: there was no hand wash in the bathroom, which is something particularly appreciated during these times and I believe wouldn't be of much cost to the hosts. Same for the oil and salt to cook. We could have bought those things, but that would have meant wasting all the products left after our short stay. Other than that, everything was perfect and the location was an absolute gem. Thank you!
