The place was adequate for our needs and we were comfortable for sleeping and showering. We had an issue with some noise but was promptly taken care of by the owner and his staff. The owner is a gentleman and he treated us very well. He owns the restaurant downstairs as well and we had a nice meal there as well.
Transportation in Bari is terrible though. Although there was a train station right next to us, but we could never figure out how to get in and what ticket to buy to get to the next station. It was terrible and we got stuck once because the trains were out and the bus took us to no man's land. Eventually some helpful bus drivers dropped us back near the central station, but we had to walk for 2 hours, a family with 2 kids in the dark streets of Bari around midnight until we got home. There is no Uber here and our phones were dead. I would suggest to always have a taxi company stored on your phone and one that will answer because even when we tried to book one to go back home at the end of our trip, we had to go through 5 different companies until one finally picked up.
Overall the property is safe and the place is good, but transportation is quite bad around here especially at night.
