Without doubt, the best Airbnb EVER. The apartment: incredibly clean, beautiful courtyard, tasteful decoration, everything you could possibly need for cooking, washing clothes, bathroom etc, amazing location close to everything in the historical centre.
The town: Lecce is STUNNING and Anna's apartment is located in the most beautiful part. We had delicious food at local restaurants and enjoyed wandering the beautiful streets.
The host: Anna and her husband were simply the kindest, most hospitable people I have encountered through Airbnb. They met us at the train station with a baby seat installed in their car for our tiny 4month old daughter, Anna had set up a cot for our baby and a rug for her to play on. There was food in the fridge and in the cupboard for us (cherries, homemade jam, pasta, eggs, juice, cookies and more). We were sick when we arrived and Anna helped us to get to the doctor the next day (she even translated for us). We had been considering cutting our holiday short and going home but felt so nurtured by our experience at Anna's that we decided we would continue. I know Anna had planned to drive us to the coast and while we were too unwell to take her up on the offer, we were so touched she had organized a car seat for our baby. Traveling with a tiny baby is hard but Anna made it easy for us. To top it all off, Anna cares so much for her town, she is running for council. What a wonderful person.
PLEASE, PLEASE do yourself a favour and stay at Anna's apartment. You will love her apartment, you will love Anna and you will love Lecce.
