Dino's apartment was the perfect base from which to explore the Puglia coast for a few days. Full of art, books and stylish charm, the apartment is a real home away from home. The location in Bari is excellent - close to the old town and a 10 minute walk from the train station. Dino welcomed us with a bottle of wine and some great local knowledge. During our stay, he even texted us a few tips on where to find the best gelato in Polignani a mare. At night, the via Cognetti can get a bit raucous; especially at weekend, so don't expect total calm. The kitchen has everything you could want to cook if you are mad enough to not want to dine out in Puglia. All in all, a super base in Bari.
