Our holiday in Bari was lovely, however, unfortunately our stay at Valeria's place wasn't what we expected, yes the apartment had a beautiful ceiling and it was spacious but the first impression wasn't good because the hallway we had to walk through to get to the apartment was very run down and smelled of urine and there is no photo of the full hallway in the apartment's description.
Once we got into the flat we found it a lot better than the hallway but the wifi didn't work at all, and there was an ashtray full of cigarette butts left on balcony table, the mezzanine and staircase were extremely shaky and noisy whenever walked on, whoever sleeps downstairs has to deal with a noisy fridge in the main living area, and also the toilet stopped flushing. We never saw Valeria and we were communicating through airbnb and her response was that the wifi and the toilet wouldn't be fixed until Monday, (we checked-in on Saturday) and if we want we can cancel and find another place so unfortunately we did just that after 1 night (and no we weren't looking for 5-star accomodation)
