charming busy place, books here, an old violin there, small rooms on four levels, obviously lived in, not just a rental, yet impeccably clean and the generous and friendly hostess provides lots of places for you to put your stuff and gives good recommendations for places to eat; good-sized bed, good bathroom, fast internet, unbeatable location, in old city at the edge of a lively newer city area, walking distance from everything, yet private, quiet at night, clean streets, loved the old-fashioned barber and pasta-making ladies next door; after leaving we realized we forgot our cell phone and Lilia came back from work to fetch it for us; this is the place to stay in Bari unless you prefer an ascetic hotel-like environment
