Having never done Airbnb before we really did not know what to expect, and even though we had read the reviews for Giovanni's apartment and was expecting it to be quite nice, we had not expected how perfect it actually was. From the moment of landing at the airport Giovanni contacted us to confirm that someone would be there to meet us, which they were. We were blown away by the apartment! It has modern fittings within a renovated apartment building incorporating wooden beamed ceilings and full length shuttered patio doors leading to a totally unexpected private terrace. Perfect for sitting and enjoying a peaceful breakfast. The apartment was faultlessly clean, the shower room fittings were new and easy to use. The location is situated perfectly in the centre of lower Bergamo..15 mins walk to the train station in one direction and 15 mins walk to the Funicular to go to upper Bergamo in the other direction. Small supermarket is approx 2 mins away and is open until midnight. There are plenty of bars and cafes within a 10 min radius of the apartment . If we ever visit Bergamo again, we would definitely ask Giovanni to use his apartment again and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to our family and friends.
