The apartment is above Marcello and Mabel's place. The apartment is decorated in a 70's style - all features show no signs of wear or tear. The apartment is well looked after. There are a few parks close by for the children. Marcello & Mabel were very open, allowing the children to play in their garden. They also had a full sized table tennis table they wanted to put up for the children. Marcello & Mabel are great hosts. Very accommodating, making sure everything was good for us. We spent our evening out in Bergamo, about a 25 minutes drive. It is a beautiful town. Wish we had made more time to explore....we would come back and stay at the apartment.
