My girlfriend and I spent a brief night at Renato's, arriving in the evening from our flight and leaving early for our hire car.
The very positive thing we would like to mention is how wonderful Renato's wife was, who checked us in. She was very friendly, helpful and guided us to a lovely place for dinner. The best pizza.
The apartment was clean and the pictures accurate. There was a lovely entry, beautiful kitchen and good clean bathrooms.
However, in a less positive note, we discovered that we were not staying with Renato and his wife in their place.
This was an apartment that was set up with 3 rooms that Renato rents out to strangers. Renato and his wife do not live there. This is not the spirit in which Airbnb was established. We did not feel comfortable there at all. I'm not saying that the other guests were not nice.
Also the bed we slept in comprised a foam mattress on a kind of wire mesh, hammock base that was quite uncomfortable and not stable to sleep in ((
The apartment was easy to get to from the airport. 2 buses. And walking distance to the centre of Bergamo.
