Paola and her husband were very welcoming when my guest and I arrived, and they even asked their friend to come over and help with translating. Paola’s place is one of the best that I’ve stayed in turning my time in Italy. It was very beautiful and the kitchen was extremely well-stocked. It had everything we needed for our 5-night stay. The apartment was located right near a bus stop, so whether we were going up to Città Alta or headed to the train station, transportation was never a problem. I really recommend Paola’s place for long or short stays if you find yourself in Bergamo.
