My stay at Michele's apartment was wonderful! The spacious rooms and great location made my stay very enjoyable. Michele met me at the castle Carlo V to help me drive my rental car into the city so I could park the rental car securely inside. It would be easy to stay at his apartment without a car - just outside the front door is the main street that cuts through the historic town center, with the duomo about a 200m walk away. Michele had everything ready for my arrival and he even gave me a bunch of the local traditional breads and sweets at the breakfast. If you want to explore Lecce, I highly recommend staying with Michele. I would gladly stay there again.
