What to look for in a Bari apartment
- CIN code displayed (Italian national identification) — legal requirement
- Verified host with 30+ reviews
- Air conditioning (essential May-September)
- Self check-in or 24h concierge for late arrivals from airport
- Quiet windows (Old Town can be loud)

Safety and legality
- Every legal short-term rental must register guests with Italian police (Alloggiati Web) within 24h
