The place and Marcello himself are wonderul and very accommodating. The dog is also a lovely bonus. The positive things are that, there is everything one might need, including a balcony; the neighborhood is relatively quiet; the place is very clean and nice. The only downsides I can think of, is that I'm not a fan of the electronic locks; whilst connections to Bari Centrale and elsewhere are relatively good (bus stop by the house and train stop a 10 minute walk away), do expect a time gap at night when it's not easy to go/come from Bari city centre. Also needs to be mentioned, that whilst close to the sea, going to swim is a bit difficult because of the rocky coast and even dangerous with waves, nonetheless I still managed to go swimming nearby with small waves.
All in all, can highly recommend.
