Andrea and his father were lovely hosts who made me feel right at home by picking me up from the train station. They were always responsive when I had issues. The place has been lovingly restored and I very much enjoyed my month-long stay in Lecce. A few tips that may be helpful for other digital nomads:
1) If you come in winter, the weather is rainy and it's hard to dry your clothes outside due to the rain. It's also hard to dry your clothes indoors because of the humidity. I laid my clothes on the heater, but a dehumidifier and heated towel rack would be a great addition.
2) If you need to be on video calls, the internet speed is sufficient though you will have to sit right by the corner of the kitchen table near the TV as the router/modem is not in the apartment but on the other side of the bookshelf wall.
All in all, a good stay. Thank you Andrea!
