The apartment is very convenient, well equipped, and well located. Ideal for a family with two kids. Monopoli is a great place to stay when you wish to visit and experience Puglia, especially its part south of Bari. It's a very interesting city on its own, with a pleasant old town (splendid Baroque cathedral!) and sea promenade. You can have an isight into the normal, everyday life of its citizens as Monopoli is not dominated by tourism. We enjoyed every visit to a bar, walking across the city, and watching people on the Sunday passeggiata. It takes just a 10-15 minutes walk to the train station to use quick connections across the region (Bari, Polignano a Mare, Ostuni, Lecce, Trani, Barletta). There are also buses to Alberobello and Locorotondo. Hosts are very nice and helpful, they offered additional advice on travel and dining. Great place!
