While reading this review keep in mind that we gave it 4/5, because we were happy with the stay over all and the following list can be fixed with little effort. I felt like we were one of the first few guests at that place.
Let’s start with the good things.
Location.
The place is located in Bari’s suburbs, you can see the sea literally 70m away from the gate. 15 min walk to the train station will let you connect with the centre of Bari at the cost of 1,1€ and another 11 mins ride.
It may seem like the apartment is next to the airport but over our 2 nights stay we had no problems concerning airplane noise at all!
The host was kind enough to offer us a shuttle from the airport (at the price of 15€, which was a lot in my opinion given it’s a 5 min ride, and he did come with his own small car)
The apartment has two air conditioning units and both work really nicely. The water pressure in the shower was nice and hot water was not a problem.
Now to the bad ones.
Trash.
There was not a single bin in the whole apartment, we had to make one ourselves out of the mop bucket.
Bathroom.
Even though I’m not a really tall person I had troubles using the shower handle to my satisfaction. The shower drain was just a hole with no net or anything you’d expect there to be. The toilet seat wasn’t properly mounted. There was no hairdryer. There were no toilet brush.
Kitchen.
There was no electric kettle and the cutlery was sparse. There was a decent coffee express though, so that’s a good thing.
In general the apartment lightning was semi-good, there was nothing to hang your coats on, there were no WiFi, the TV was not even plugged in (there was no cable, it was just there), there were not enough power sockets.
On our last day 2/01, it was a working day, and construction workers were beating their hammers since the morning (the building where the condo is looks like it’s been only half finished).
Even after all this I would rate the stay 4/5, as those did not manage to annoy us too much and we had a good stay.
