Francesca is one of the most welcoming hosts you'll find on Airbnb. She and her son will make you feel at home right from the moment you arrive and rest assured that she'll always lend you a hand whenever she can. She waited for me outside Bergamo's train station and drove me to her apartment, even though I missed my train, arrived one hour late and had no way of letting her know. She also introduced me to some of her friends, with whom we either went out for dinner or just for a drink and a nice evening out. The apartment is beautiful and she makes sure it's always (ALWAYS) clean and shiny. It's perfectly located, just about 10 minutes away from Bergamo's città bassa. The neighbourhood is really peaceful and she can show you where to have some of the best gelato you'll ever taste. The room is cozy and has a spacious desk that becomes quite useful if you need to study or do some work. You have a big supermarket just 100 mts away and a couple more about 10/15 minutes away (on foot). She was kind enough to lend me her bicycle so that I could move around easily and showed me some of the main spots around. If you're fond of running or spending time outdoors, there's a beautiful park 5 minutes away. If you want to know a bit more about the Italian people, talk to her! She's always willing to have a good chat about pretty much everything and you'll surely discover a big-hearted woman who will make her best so that you have an amazing time.
