Monopoli is a really nice and cosy little town. And Marias appartement in the old town is perfect, with everything you need in walking distance: nice beaches, good bakery, Cafés, Bars, Restaurants, supermarket with ecological products...
My daughter, 3, and I enjoyed our one week stay a lot.
You can come from Bari Airport by train, you just have to change the train in Bari central station, all in all it takes 1,5 hour.
For two people the appartement is perfect, the bed is very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need to cook.
But you must realize that there is no sunshine in the appartement and it's a little bit dark, but for us it was fine.
We did not meet Maria in person, cause she has now a Code system at the door, but we stayed in contact and she answered all my questions immediatly.
I can recommend her appartement to everyone!
