This apartment is perfectly located. You can take your pick whether you stroll down to Citta Bassa or walk/bus up to Citta Alta. Our concern about being in between was totally unfounded. In the same little piazza as the unit is a great take away pizza shop, café, bar and tabachi (for smokes, tickets and bits and pieces. Oh also a good hairdresser it seemed. The apartment itself was large, comfortable and it was great to have the convenience of two bathrooms one up and one down. The kitchen is smallish but adequate and well equipped (no oven though) with a breakfast bar which got a lot of use. The place although large was warm and comfortable. Note though that there are no English channels on the TV (not a concern for us). Bergamo is a hidden gem. Just beautiful and a stroll around the old city walls is one of the great town walks of Italy in our view. We spent 7 days in the unit and were a bit sad to say goodbye. We will definitely come back to Bergamo and this lovely apartment in Via Pignolo.
