Alessandro's place is so, so nice and spotless. Here are a few highlights: a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, VERY close to the funicolare to Citta Alta (hint: if you want to take the funicolare make sure you get there early, otherwise the wait times are significant; another option is to take bus 1), friendly neighbors, easy to get to/from the train station, airport, quite a few places around with great food. We felt very very welcome, like
home. Alessandro's assistant, Valentina, was very friendly and helpful, super quick communication and good instruction provided. Her help meant a lot to us after an 8h delayed flight.
About Bergamo, we loved this city - the balance of old and new is lovely, the city being a real jewel. We truly hope to get back here again.
