Maria's apartment is fabulous. A lovely old grand apartment (modern bathrooms and kitchen) right near the heart of the old town. This has been our favourite apartment on our trip so far. It's beautiful, spacious, yet warm and cozy. Maria met us when we arrived, took us up to the apartment and made sure we were all settled in. She made us feel very welcome. The apartment has everything you would need for a short or long stay. Maria has thought of everything. The mini market, bakery and delis are close by and it's a short walk to the bus stop. The apartment also has a good selection of Italian and English books, which is always appreciated. We loved it so much we didn't eat out in Bergamo at all. We raided the fruit markets and delis and cooked up a storm. This place is definitely home away from home.
