I actually didn't stay at Cecilia's place because she was concerned that the heat was not reliable yet. However, she matched us up to another host just a few doors down from her place and the stay was wonderful. It was a quiet location, but right in the center of the old part of Lecce - a short walk from the Duomo. I felt safe and the apartment had more space than I expected - very roomy and everything worked! I felt quite at home right away. The other host, Andrea, thought up everything that might be needed - bottled water, hair dryer, lots of towels and fully stocked kitchen.
