This is a huge, beautiful apartment with every amenity one could want, including a huge balcony that made me feel like a millionaire. It was literally sparking, white tile, clean when I arrived, every surface looking brand new. Sergio and his family are kind, helpful people who mind their own business unless you need help and they will answer questions, and do what they can to be of assistance. The location is in a real southern Italian town, not a tourist destination. In a 20-minute walk you will be in central Lecce, which is a beautiful touristic old city. But where this airbnb is, you will only see real life, not fantasy world. I learned about the region from walking around, shopping here, and talking to the clerks. They are curious and will speak with you in Italian anytime.
