Rita was a most excellent and friendly host. It was evident from the time that we met that the comfort of her guests was very important to her. The apartment was in an ideal location, a short walk to the historic upper town or the shopping district of the main town. Rita went out of her way to provide the small necessities for the traveller and even made a welcome apple pie! Thank you Rita. The apartment was comfortably furnished - it should be understood that the second bedroom was actually the lounge room, but this was no problem for us and the main bedroom was large with plenty of space for unpacking. Rita took much of her time to explain the local sights and gave recommendations of where to eat. Bergamo is a beautiful city - particularly the historic town,and Rita's apartment was an ideal base for exploring.
