Whether you are to stay in Bari I would strongly recommend this exact apartment. I am to elaborate why. Location is great. 2 mins to the train station (very convenient if you are planning to use Bari as a home base and travel around the most famous towns of Puglia), 10 mins to bus station (buses to Matera and Alebrobello). Flat is basically located in the city center, 10 mins away walking to the old city and it is as safe as it gets in Bari. I am sure you won't feel the same if you book in the old city. My personal recommendation will be you stay away from the old city of Bari as a home base. The flat is perfectly equipped (best equipped flat I have ever been to ). It is also clean and stylish, and spacious. Davide is absolutely amazing. I had so many questions as to where to go, how to get there etc. He was digging out info for me and also checking if we are doing ok. We were also allowed to check out later. He needed to rearrange the cleaning to accommodate that and he did it nevertheless. I am solely using airbnb when travel and this goes straight to my top 3 airbnb experiences ever. Do yourself a favor and book this property.
