The location couldn’t be faulted. Checkin was quick and easy. Generally a nice place but quite small and pokey. There were two of us staying there but I think the place is far too small to accomodate four adults. Also, don’t stay there if you are tall - we are 5’5” and were ducking quite a bit as we moved through the flat.
The coffee machine was a lovely touch and we enjoyed admiring the view with a coffee each morning.
There were, however, a few irritations which our quite a dampener on the last leg of what had been a spectacular 10 day trip around Puglia. Before I delve into that, I should mention that the flat is run by an agency, so I especially wouldn’t have expected to have encountered these issues.
1. We sought parking advice from them before we arrived (Thursday evening) and were advised to park on the main square. Easy! What was not mentioned is that you are pretty much guaranteed a €42 fine for being there on Friday mornings. This is very poorly signposted in certain sections of the square (particularly where we parked) and frankly I feel it’s designed as a revenue raising scheme for clueless tourists. Not that the latter is their fault, but when I vented about the issue to Miriam, she mentioned another of their customers had encountered the same issue. Which brings me back to: we really should have been forewarned so that we could have parked elsewhere
2. Someone else has mentioned that the master bathroom floods (the shower doesn’t drain properly) and this issue seems to still be not resolved. Thankfully, there was another shower we were able to use.
3. Only two small rolls of toilet paper were supplied for a three night stay. When I asked for more on the last evening I was told to go and buy some. Yes it’s cheap, but buying more would have meant buying 4 rolls to see us through the last 10 hours of our stay, and frankly, seeing as it is so cheap and considering the price they charge per night, I feel they could just supply a few more extra rolls in the first place.
Overall it was a satisfactory stay, but could be improved, especially comparing this to the other amazing air bnbs we stayed in during our trip to Puglia.
