From the phone conversation, I felt people at B&B are very relaxed and easy going. Now I am relieved.
Pictures of Bari Downtown look lovely. We are excited.
Be flexible. Bari is generally not a place people choose to go, unless they have relatives there. It has some decent areas, but its basically a kind of grimy large port town, except for the old town. Fortunately it's reasonably close to some interesting places. You should not miss Matera, no matter what, in nearby Basilicata. In Puglia where Bari is nearby is Lecce which is nicer. OstunIa is worth a visit. Alberobello is interesting as is Monopoli.As for Bari, keep your expectations in check. If you are only going to have time for one side trip, I'd choose Matera.
