I was looking for a place to stay in Brindisi for a week, while keeping the costs to a minimum, and this apartment was perfect for my needs. Not only was the price very reasonable, but the basic kitchen facilities allowed me to cook my own meals (and gave me reason to explore the local shops and markets) and thereby keep down otherwise necessary restaurant bills. Having said that, I ate out on a few occasions (restaurants, pizzerie, fast food vans) and there is certainly no shortage of choice of great food in Brindisi. The apartment is well situated, being a ten minute walk from the station in the newer part of Brindisi, and has everthing (and more) that I needed for a short stay. Ylenia, the host, couldn't have been more helpful both before and during my stay, answering my numerous questions on Bridisi, travelling around, where to get the best ice cream (very important!) etc., and had thoughtfully provided a good selection of breakfast food/drink items and bottled water. This was my first Airbnb experience, and was certainly a very good one. Thanks Ylenia.
