Marco and his wife were great hosts. we were met at the agreed upon time. Marco gave us an overview of Lecce and gave us tips on places to see and places to eat local foods. the apartment was comfortable and clean with a large rooftop deck. a nice breakfast was set out in the foyer each morning. the kitchen is small and not really set up for making dinners but fine for making coffee in the morning and lunches to enjoy on the deck. Most importantly, the neighborhood is very quiet for sleeping, and yet just a few minutes walk to the center.
