Words cannot begin to describe the pleasure that it was meeting Rita and staying at La Rosa Scarlatta. It was by far the BEST AirBnb experience that I've had and I cannot recommend Rita or the flat enough to potential guests.
Rita is a Superhost for a reason. She's extremely friendly, responsive, and thoughtful of guests' needs. She has provisioned the flat with everything one could need, including supplies, tourist information, and all of the comforts of home. Furthermore, she reached out to me almost daily to make sure that everything was to my satisfaction. This made me feel welcomed and appreciated.
The flat's location is great. It's on a historic, quiet street (I'm a light sleeper and was not bothered by outside noise at all) but still within a few meters of cafes and places where you can buy basics. Within 10 minutes walking you have access to a supermarket, the Citta' Alta, and many other services. There is also the 1/1A bus very close by to take you to the city center, train station, opera house, or historic center.
The flat itself is AMAZING. It's in a centuries old building that has been equipped with all the modern conveniences, while still retaining its historic charm. The bathroom is, by far, the largest I've seen in Europe and has a huge tub for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking supplies, which allowed me to save a bit of money by cooking dinner three nights. The bedroom is large and, like the rest of the house, well decorated. In addition, the flat is extremely clean.
I hope that I can come to Bergamo in the future to stay here again, but, until I do, I encourage all potential guests to strongly consider staying with Rita and La Rosa Scarlatta. You won't be disappointed.
