Good city apartment, with charm
The apt lived up to and exceeded our expectations from photos. Two bedrooms with two bathrooms and a large living room easily accommodated four of us. The historical building had lofty arched ceilings which added to the sense of space, and the apt was perfectly located in the centre of town. We would have liked a better equipped kitchen as we often cooked at home; a laundry for a longer stay would be appreciated yet there was a laundromat close by. Heat was included for 10 hours per day. Clarissa was a thoughtful manager offering assistance throughout.

Lecce at Christmas.
Very nice property in a very good position. Central but quiet. Clarissa and her family were always available when needed. Only thing I would say is that it is not clear that you pay extra for an extra bedroom. I booked the flat for my brother and I because it had two bedrooms. However Clarissa told me that she assumed two people would only need one bedroom. There was a charge of 35 euros a night for the extra room. This is the first time I have experienced this. I don’t think it is clear on booking. Otherwise all very good.

Lecce Experience
The apartment is conveniently located and comfortable. It is an easy walk to many historical sites, restaurants, and shops. Parking is a short walk away and reasonably priced. At times it was challenging to find a parking space particularly on the weekend when parking is free. Clarissa was very helpful with check-in and accommodated us with our late arrival due to flight changes. The kitchen could be better equipped. The pots and pans are in sad condition. Utensils and glassware are minimal. Underneath the kitchen sink there was a strong odor caused by mold. We found the bedrooms to be a bit musty. There are dehumidifiers in the apartment but none them were running. If these issues are addressed, we would consider staying again.

Gorgeous, huge apartment in an amazing location
This place was wonderful! Our host truly couldn't have been kinder- she spoke perfect English and was so happy to offer suggestions and answer any questions about Lecce. The apartment is huge with two separate bedrooms on opposite sides of the house, which is nice for privacy. We loved it here and would stay again. We had a bit of trouble with parking but figured it out, and it was worth it to stay so close to the center of town. Beautiful!
