First I want to thank the administrators of the apartment in the Via Celentano 34 Adriana and Nicola for accepting my request for living in Bari during one week. Here are some most relevant Pros and Cons for this apartment, which can be helpful for the upcoming globetrotters J - FACILITY The apartment is held in a minimalistic style and has a nice bedroom with a cosy big bed, equipped with a middle-soft mattress, a nice stone flooring (you probably would need slippers), a well-renovated bathroom with a shower cabin and bidet, a tiny but cute kitchen with lots of shelves, and a roomy hall for having meals and working (with a sleeping sofa). There was also a quite modern air-conditioning (you do need it in summer in Southern Italy!). BUT the washing machine didn't work properly (and it was stinking too as I opened it and found there rusty paper clips in the rubber). The main problem is that the marking of the modes are erased, so that I couldn't choose the mode I needed and had to try on an off chance. In my case all the laundry was very wet after washing, and I couldn't find out how to make it dry, how to find an appropriate mode. There also was no drying rack in the apartment, so that I had to "decorate" every door with my wet clothes (a clothesline at the balcony was too short and there are some pigeons there so that I decided to dry my clothes inside). Luckily there were ca. 10 coat hangers in the wardrobe so that I could arrange it somehow. But if there were several persons living in, it would have been almost impossible. Another quite relevant problem was regulating water in the bathroom. As I wrote above, the bathroom is enough big and everything is in a good condition, BUT it took up to 5-7 minutes for me to adjust the water temperature as I needed. When I stayed in shower longer than 10 minutes (I take longer showers), the water got peu en peu colder and colder. I'm pretty sure that something must be done with it. In the apartment there actually were initially almost all the kitchen utensils to cook properly, but - a kettle, a trencher, and a big longer knife. After I've written to Adriana, she almost immediately let bring a small electric kettle (very small and unhandy one though) and a trencher (with detergent for cleaning dishes and washing clothes, and a pack of garbage bags - I think it must be in any airbnb accommodation, but thanks anyway), but no bigger knife (which you will need to cut a water melon, for example). Well, I had to buy it on my own.. The dining room/ hall are pretty dark, also during the day, because there is only one window at the balcony. So actually all the day one has to have light turned on. The good side of this is that...
