Artemisia's place is in the center of old town Bergamo and is a 30 sec. walk to the main shopping street. The are dozens of small bakery shops and superb restaurants. The room is in a secluded courtyard that blocks noise from the main street and makes for a lovely night is sleep. If you're driving in old Town it can get stressful. The roads are one ways and pedestrians share them but it's well worth it. There is free parking for the apartment that Artemisia gives you but make sure you're parking in the correct position because the local police keep a careful eye on the lot. Overall the apartment is perfect for a 2-4 day stay and I couldn't speak more highly of it. Thank you, Artemisia!
