The host was great from the very moment of booking. The apartment was everything we expected and more, the interior was stylish and the glassware was very nice, we did feel like in a nice hotel when we set the table up. There was all kind of nice stuff for breakfast when we arrived, like biscuites and jams, and butter, etc., the linen and pillows were prisite clean, new and very nice. There is an inexpensive Express supermarket very close that works from early till late (the first time in Italy we had no problems with groceries), and in the morning there was a small and very nice fruite&vegetable market in the square just a few buildings away. The railway station and the old city (all the way to the small cable line that takes you up) are within a walking distance, so we didn't actually had to take a bus except for our late return from the old city when we were just too tired to walk. We were sorry we had to leave so soon, we never thought we'd like Bergamo that much. Should we ever come back, we would certainly want to stay here. Thank you very much!
