location

Unfortunately, my stay was not a pleasant one, as I did not feel safe in the apartment. The door is operated remotely when the owner or someone on their behalf sees someone on cameras approaching the entrance. From the inside, there is no way to lock the door—neither with a traditional key nor a latch—and the lock itself appeared very weak. Additionally, during my absence, i believe someone entered the apartment, despite the person I was communicating with via WhatsApp denying this. All windows were closed when I left, as it was a cold night and I was staying with my child. I even have the photo of closed window as i was sending it to my husband how the location looks like. However, when I returned, the bathroom window was open—something I did not do, and my child couldn’t have either, as it was out of their reach. On that day, there was a noticeable sewage smell in the building, so I suspect someone may have aired out the apartment while I was gone. However, the people I spoke with insist that no one entered. The lack of a way to secure the apartment from the inside, combined with the fact that—based on the circumstances—I believe someone entered without my knowledge or agreement, unfortunately ruined the entire stay.

Clear instructions for check in, very clean apartment with good facilities. Perfect location in the centre of monopoli

Parking on the street can be difficult with no garuntee for free parking. suggest searching for the slightly further away car parks for ease (not too expensive)

The location was amazing, nice large shower very comfortable would definitely stay again.

The strict 9am check out which did not bother us as we had an early bus to catch. Otherwise it could be a problem. And further communication regarding entry. Ie apartment 0, the door which is opened by the owner is quite narrow and our luggage was dragged awkwardly over a step. We were not aware of the secondary door to bring our luggage at floor level was available. This did not upset our stay we just saw the funny side.

Good location host invisible but easy contactable

Poor lighting in whole of the room and bath room

Very cosy stay, beautiful place all covered in white stone. Good location and helpful host! 9am checkout was a bit challenging:)

The location and the room aesthetic

The room has a hot tub but to activate it, the owner must remotely proceed to activation and send on whatsapp long messages that break the relaxation. If you want to take a relaxing bath at 3 am, you should hope that the owner does not sleep! In addition, we were asked 20 € for each additional tank filling to the first despite on booking this is not mentioned! There are no courtesy kits with bath foam/ shampoo nor towels for shower and bath. Soundproofing at zero! Coffee machine and air conditioners not working. The owner sends continuous messages even early in the morning. It was stressful.
