FANTASTIC APARTMENT IN OLD BARI
We stayed 3 nights at the Earth Sky House and it was one of the best AirBNB experiences we have ever had. The house is located in Bari Vecchio (old town). The top floor deck has a view of the ocean. You can drink wine and watch the sunset.

The bedroom is large, and cool. There are 2 bathrooms, 2 living rooms and a fully equipped kitchen. Best of all the place has tons of personal touches that make you feel like you are staying at friend's house rather than a rental suite. The owners have all kinds knick knacks including lots of owls. The only caution is that there are a lot of stairs (the place has 5 floors including the deck, one big room on each floor) and therefore is not suitable for someone with mobility issues. Also there is no internet.

We never met the owners but we met the lady next door who watched us from her balcony, the cleaning lady and Concita the woman who takes care of guests. The hosts were very flexible allowing us in early and to leave late. Communication with the host was very easy via email.

The neighbourhood is fantastic, narrow windy streets, churches and ruins. It is an inhabited old city with old ladies sitting on guard watching everyone, kids playing soccer amongst roman columns and lots of little stores where you can get provisions. Around the corner is a Salumeria where we bought bread. cheese. cold cuts and wine. When we asked about fruit and vegetables the owner took us out and walked us to a local green grocer.
