Paola’s studio apartment was clean, comfortable, and included most of the basic amenities. Paola was a friendly and accommodating host. We were in Bergamo during a very hot week, and had to keep the windows open at night with the table fan running in order to keep cool enough. As others have mentioned, the noise from the cobblestone street below is VERY loud, especially when the windows are open. And the church bells ring every half-hour starting at 7am. So, while centrally-located, this apartment is probably best suited for heavy sleepers.
