This was a lovely apartment in Bari. It was spacious with two bathrooms, a lovely living room, kitchen area with a large table and tv area, and a really pretty bedroom. You really got the feel of the area. The shower downstairs was small but worked very well. We did not use the upstairs jetted tub. The tv worked well. The outside court yard was lovely and we sat outside with wine a few nights and really enjoyed the outside.
The bedroom is upstairs, which is a circular staircase, if you have trouble with the stairs I wouldn't recommend you use the upstairs bedroom. There is a pullout couch on the first level. We did not use it, but it was available.
Our problems, which were not really horrible, but reviewing I feel I must mention. We did have some trouble with check in. The owner was away and left another in charge and we had difficulty reaching him the two times we tried. There was only 2 large towels and 2 small towels provided for the two of us for 8 days, only 1 set of sheets. I feel an extra set of towels and sheets should have been provided. (owner away...??) Also, 3 nights it was hot sleeping upstairs. We would have loved to have a fan. The screens are very old, as is the apartment, and screens were down on some of the windows. We couldn't open some of the windows. I would recommend the owner fix the screens. If the owner were available maybe these things would have been fixed immediately, not sure. I wouldn't walk in this area at night alone, but as a couple we were OK. We were told by many shop keepers to watch our belonging as we walk throughout the town. This is anywhere, but we were warned many times in this area.
There are many, many shops in the area and you can buy anything you would like. We purchased food items down the corner and lots of delicious fresh fruit. There were so many restaurants to choose from. Go to the tourist center in Old Town first thing. You can get a map and any information you would like they were extremely helpful.
The apartment was located a very short distance from the train station, which made it very convenient. We took the train to several locations in italy. We also took the bus to the large shopping center. Taxi is easy to find at the train station. All in all I feel we had a really good stay at this apartment in Bari. Elio I left you a present in the dish cabinet. We are sorry to not have met you. Maybe another time.
