Francesca’s apartment is spacious, in a quiet neighborhood, near the train station and an easy 20-minute walk to the city center. We found snacks and drinks in the fridge upon arrival. Francesca leaves a detailed print out, in several languages, of things to do and see in Bari as well as great restaurant suggestions on her website. We found the apartment in need of a few comforts that could easily be added at minimal expense. The kitchen needs a cutting board, the bed could use a mattress pad, darker curtains would be nice to block out the streetlights at night. We enjoyed breakfast on large balcony which catches the morning sun. We appreciated Francesca’s quick to responded to our inquires.
