This Private room was exactly what I needed. It's not far from the city, 15 min walk gets you into the main area and Bari Central train station. And 15 min in another direction gets you to the beach. Public bus wasn't that helpful in this area, you'll probably still walk a fair bit. The room itself is in a flat with the other rooms rented to other guests. The Kitchen and bathrooms are shared spaces. I only saw one other guest and it was very peaceful. Wifi was fast. Room was large with plenty of space and beds were clean. Soap and shampoo provided. Michele was very responsive with communication and as soon as I arrived, his assistant was there to let me in. There is minimal face to face interaction so it's much more like a hotel in that manner. Overall, if you need an affordable, clean, safe place to stay near Bari centro, I would recommend this place.
