Andrea is a great host.. He is friendly and informal . The apartment situated in what was a former palazzo is at the foot of the old town with good restaurants cafes and shops nearby. Old Bergamo is amazing and you are very close to it here and within easy walking of the tram train bus connecting to Milan and other cities nearby. Andrea offers a collecting and drop off to the airport which is cheap and convenient.. He kindly didn't charge for the return journey to the airport.. Andrea is a v friendly welcoming guy offered us tips as to where to visit and eat. He was rarely at home .. We were out a lot too and so rarely crossed paths.. The house is very inexpensive and suited us for our needs .. A simple place to rest at the end of the day ..no fluff or frills .. Those who are interested can cook and eat there but we ate out most of the time .. Enjoy
