We spent 2 wonderful nights at Stephen's mid-May. We arrived by taxi from Matera, another town where having a rental car is a liability, and were dropped off 1.5 short blocks away at the corner of Via Anemone and Via Cerere. The street was smooth and level so we had no difficulty moving our luggage to the apartment. Entry to the apartment was convenient. There are approx. 35 steps to access the unit, but we had no difficulty managing the steps.
The apartment is beautiful, modern and filled with light. It has a full kitchen, 2 sitting areas, good A/C, a washer and dryer, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. The dipping pool on the rooftop deck was available, but we didn't use it.
The location, in Polignano's historic center, is perfect being near an excursion office, many restaurants, bars and the iconic beach. We walked to the train station in 8 minutes, paid 1.30 euro for an one-way ticket to Monopoli, a 5-minute train ride from Polignano. We enjoyed lunch and wandering Monopoli's quaint streets.
Stephen and Donna were helpful before and during our stay with recommendations about the area. Their response time was quick.
Of our many stays at AirBnB's, Stephen's home in Polignano is our favorite.
