Pros:
Daniela met us and dropped us off at the train station. The flat is in a good location in the heart of old Lecce.
Cons: Warning long list
- The flat is over 3 floors with a spiral stone staircase which is very steep and there is no handrail. Slippy underfoot in sandals.
- The air conditioning was apparently broken when we arrived. Despite paying to stay for 4 nights no attempt was made to fix this. 2 fans were in the flat but it have no relied to the scorching temperatures reaching 35-37 degrees C. This meant horrible nights sleep and having to move the fan room to room if wanting to cook/watch tv. It was suffocating as the apartment averaged 30 degrees during the night.
- Lovely rooftop terrace but the parasol is broken so you can't erect it and escape from the sun.
-no proper Wi-Fi. Given a 'web pocket' which was weak. The apartment has a smart t.v. but as there's no internet it's pointless.
- But WORST OF ALL was the infestation of huge cockroaches which scuttled up the walls, our bags, seatees. It was so horrible my friend and I checked into a hotel for our last night to escape the bugs and have some air conditioning.
- I would NOT recommend staying here. There are many small hotels within the centre of Lecce and we wish we had booked elsewhere.
