Francesco’s place was much bigger than indicated in the photos and it was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. He had also thought of everything in the house. There was a nice balcony off both the living room and one of the bedrooms that you could sit out on. It was handy to the bus stop that took you to the central train station and also right by the bus stop was a great green and fish market. You could walk to the train station in about 25 minutes. Just 5 minutes around the corner was a bakery type place that sold lovely ready made meals to take away. Unfortunately we arrived late one night from Dubrovnik and the next day we were organising our trip and so we didn’t get to see very much in Bari but Francesco’s apartment seemed to be in a good area and I am sure there is plenty to see there. We did not get to meet Francesco but entered the apartment by lockbox which worked fine but he was available to message.
