Filippo's place is sparkling clean, the beds are comfortable, and the place had everything I needed for a brief stay. Filippo is a super-responsive, caring, thoughtful host who clearly loves helping guests have a great stay. He met me at the train station (Palese Macchie) with warm focaccia and even drove me to the airport when I left. So kind!! I would recommend this apartment for anyone hoping to be out exploring Bari and the surrounding area for a couple of days, because the train takes you to Centrale and back within 10 minutes. The Palese area actually has great restaurants, bakeries, and pizzerie also. The only thing that surprised me was that the apartment does not have a living room, just 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a kitchen. I suppose in the warmer months, the big, lovely, covered terrace is a living room! One tip: If you are a light sleeper like me, you're better off in the twin room rather than the double room, because it's quieter at night. Both rooms have black-out shades, which is wonderful.
