Giovanni was a wonderful host! He called us when we landed, and made sure we knew exactly how to get to his studio. He was very friendly, polite and generous and made sure our stay in Bergamo was a great one. He even printed out maps to his favorite restaurants, bars/ spots in the city. The studio is beautiful, and we woke up and drank coffee out on the picturesque terrace every morning. The apartment was clean, comfortable and perfectly located. We even cooked an Italian meal one night, and Giovanni had all the supplies we needed in order to do that. I highly highly recommend staying with Giovanni. It was a memorable experience, only positively heightened by the studio and Giovanni's amicable and helpful attitude. We even ran in to Giovanni on the street and he brought us to his friend's restaurant for breakfast, and made sure they took care of us. Stay with Giovanni, you will undoubtedly enjoy your stay!
