Mariangela's apartment was perfect for our first visit to Lecce. It is very close to the centro storico, but with the advantage of being able to park a car (and then forget about it as Lecce is best on foot). There is a great pasticcheria just around the corner along with various shops and cafes which offer better value than the more touristy ones a few streets away. The apartment is a conversion in an old building, so you get the lovely high ceilings and feeling of space. There is also a small terrace that gets the morning sun and my emergency clothes washing dried there in about 2 minutes!
Mariangela was very quick to respond to my initial enquiry (which was literally last minute, having been let down by our existing booking) and got everything ready for us so well that our holiday was saved. This was massively appreciated as we were traveling with a 3 year old and it could have turned into a real nightmare!
Would recommend. Grazie mille Mariangela!
