Two positive things about this place - out of the front door you are right in the heart of the old city, very close to the church where Saint Nikolas lays, all restaurants, shops, etc. and very good host Gavy. The rest however was a disaster. The place is literally a whole in the wall, long corridor with crumbling walls in the end of which there is a double bed and another smaller one, both with moist sheets. There is no kitchen as such, no fridge or anything to cook a meal; there is a camping stove and some cutlery, but in fact all is a former hairdressing saloon with all the towels, some mirrors, etc. still there. The so-called kitchen sink is a place where hairdressers use to wash people’s hairs and it all is surrounded by some rusty ornaments- watch out, it’s a hazard! It is not an apartment at all. We appreciate that Gavy is trying his best to keep it clean, but all is permeated with dump, the shower had a lot of hair on the walls, it all smelled of dampness in the moment you shut the only window on the sealing. Gavy admits all the problems in a sheet he gives with the key, where he specifically says not to close the window, but you can’t sleep with a draft and all the noise from the street (Italians like to celebrate something all the time, almost all night long). There is no Wi-Fi, Gavy admits some problems with the provider and invited us in his gallery, if we want to use internet, but that is not what the listing on this site says. I wonder how all the rest who have been there have such a high opinion of the place, but we were barely waiting to be out of there. Our clothes smelled of damp for days until we washed them again, despite being unworn. We will not come back, two of us got rash all over the bodies and one got conjunctivitis after two nights of stay. Gavy asked us few times is all OK, but before the first evening we did not realise how bad the situation was (as we were mostly out in that evening) and for the second evening (and thank God last) there was no point to explain, argue or move out, as my mother is disabled and looking for another place for one night would have wasted our time in Bari. We stayed however all the second day long and late into the evening out, without going back even for a short lie down in the afternoon. I am sorry Gavy, but to be honest is very important, because people rely on these feedbacks and if someone before me was loyal to the other travellers and the truth rather that your kindness - we would not have rented your place. Again, Gavy is a great host, but his place doesn’t reflect the original descriptions and promises at...
