Elisabetta is a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful. The apartment was well stocked, in a prefect location in città bassa (the lower city) next to Piazza Pontida and right in the middle of all the shops on XX Settembre. Easy walk to città Alta (citadel) also. We will certainly be back. Bergamo is very much an up and coming city in northern Italy, which is ridiculous to say since it’s an ancient city. It is a great jumping off point to visit the Lombard Alps, Milan, Venice, the lakes, all great day trips.
