Valentina is an incredible host and was available, even days in advance, to arrange the details for our arrival. She was kind enough to let us know where we could park our car for free during our stay and met us at the flat to show us everything that was available for use during our stay. Valentina has also expertly thought of everything that a traveler would need during their stay, including extra bedding, extra towels, an iron, a washing machine (with detergent), a hair dryer, a floor fan, etc. She even brought us fresh figs from her garden (my favorite!) and a bottle of water. We were very impressed! This apartment is centrally located and within walking distance of everything and anything in Lecce. The apartment is on the ground floor of an adorable side street, with fairy lights overhead from the adjacent cafe. The apartment stays relatively cool in summer and the air conditioner cools off the front part of the apartment really well, but fails to reach the bedroom. The only downsides to the location were the roadworks which began every morning at around 8:00 am and lasted for about an hour and the cockroaches in the bathroom. The noise of the roadworks was impossible to sleep through, so we started every day quite early, even after late nights out. Aside from these two minor issues, we had a great stay and definitely appreciated Valentina's assistance, friendliness and warmth during our time in Lecce. We will definitely still stay with Valentina again if we visit Lecce in the future.
