My overall experience of staying at Gianluca and Ivana's place was 100% fantastic. The apartment is even better than it looks the photos, it is both clean and rustic, huge and cozy, and quiet but close to the action. It is also steps away from a beautiful part of the city, with a park right down the street, and cafes, restaurants and gorgeous monuments all a few blocks away.
The best part was meeting Gianluca and Ivana during my stay, they were SO gracious and kind, and could not have been more helpful in providing amenities and info. on attractions in the city. I was lucky to spend time with them, and experience Lecce as a local which made my trip really memorable and fun. I highly recommend staying at their apartment, and I would do so again!
