Gustavo's apartment in a historic palazzo is a very characterful and unique place, in an excellent location to explore all Lecce's historic centre has to offer. It is both right by main streets, sights, shops, restaurants and tucked away in quiet and private courtyard. Gustavo kindly picked us up from Lecce bus station (which is about 15' walk) and drove us to the apartment, also giving us a mini-tour of the surrounding area and pausing to recommend local restaurants as well as day-trips to the coast. The apartment was clean and comfortable; the kitchen is small but well-equipped, although we didn't use it much as there were so many restaurants to choose from. The bottle of his wife's wine was a nice touch. The vast living room space is very appealing, with interesting art works all around and many guides and other books. The sleeping area is accessed via a narrow spiral staircase - delightfully picturesque although it won't suit absolutely everyone from a practical point of view. One little negative: the air conditioning has some but limited effectiveness in the sleeping area. It wasn't a huge issue - despite the high summer temperatures - but some might be especially sensitive to this. All in all a very pleasant stay and we would certainly enjoy staying here again!
