Manuela is an excellent host, very good English, very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. The apartment is lovely and modern and spacious for 2 guests. It is secure and on a quiet street. It is very well situated to explore beautiful Bergamo. It was easy to get around on the buses and trains. Bergamo old town is within walking distance although it is quite hilly, so you may want to catch the funicular. Would definitely recommend the old town (lovely little cobbled streets, shops, cafes, bars and churches, etc). Also well worth getting the funicular to the very top for the views from the castle walls. You can also get a train to Lake Lecco which forms part of Lake Como or Lake Iseo. I would definitely recommend Bergamo and Manuela's apartment.
