I wrote a very positive review that somehow got lost in cyberspace. So here is a second try.
Laura and Duccio outdid themselves in terms of their hospitality and graciousness. I was picked up at the train station, and dropped off again the following day, with a shopping stop en route. Duccio also dropped me at the funicular stop to explore Upper Bergamo, which helped me make the most of the one evening I was in Bergamo.
When I asked if I could borrow a bottle opener, it came on a tray together with an already opened bottle of wine and a glass. In the morning a breakfast tray with more than I could eat was awaiting outside the bedroom door.
Facilities clean, bed comfy, internet functional. Wonderful hosts.
Never really got my bearings regarding the location because I arrived in the dark and was picked up and dropped off by Duccio. Their home is about a 30 minute walk downhill from the old city. Probably more if you walk uphill. It is in the lower part of the city--not so far from the train station.
Which is also where the bus leaves from for the Bergamo Airport--a trip that takes all of 15 minutes. So most convenient staying with Laura and Duccio. Also worth noting is Laura's dressmaking workshop, especially if you are a pocket fan. Wish I had had more time to spend both exploring Bergamo and getting to know Laura and Duccio. Two reasons for a return visit.
