The apartment almost couldn't be any closer to the funicular (the incline to the upper city, the historic walled city called Citta Alta). It's also inside of a small, gated apartment community with a locked gate. It's a little noisy in the morning, but that's because it's part of a working, bustling city. And it's quiet at nice, which is great. We absolutely loved our stay in Bergamo and this was a big part of it- a clean, compact apartment which was both comfortable and functional. It was so easy for us to get around both the upper city (by walking or by taking the funicular), and the lower city. Perfect for a couple. Thanks again!
