We were looking for a last minute stay in Brindisi and were glad that Amanda accepted us at this late hour. A big compliment for her quick response!
The apartmen itself is build around a central column on the bottom floor. Recognisable as typical Italian for everyone who watched some classic Italian movies (Una Giornata Particolare). You're in the middle of the life of the Brindisiani, which is a nice experience. The location is great, just a block from the main street of Brindisi. Right in the center, so you can do everything by foot.
I'm sorry to say that the apartment was really clean. Everything was cleaned, but it wasn't completely hygienic and smelled. Partly because it's an old apartment, partly because it didn't look well-maintained or hasn't been kept clean for some time. The perfume sticks everywhere indicate that the owner knows this.
It saved our backs from sleeping in the car, but afterwards we wouldn't have cared about that.
