Andre was very helpful in sharing information of bergamo and what to see and what to do. He also went above and beyond in helping us get our refund from a local gas station as we were clueless Americans using a gas station in Italy for the first time.
The flat itself is unique. There were more people than just us and Andre in the flat. For those with animal allergies, he does have an indoor dog in the flat. Well behaved animal.
Kitchen and bathroom are shared. Never used the kitchen as it seemed pretty full. Bathroom was missing a few basics like hand towel for drying hands. At first there was not a trash can, but Andre found a paper bag to use.
We ended up renting a car last minute, and paid 5 euros to park at Andre apt. Because we had a third person we were hoping for 3 single beds,but were informed there was an extra charge for an additional bed. So we made do.
A few things we wished were clarified. The gates to access the apartment were a bit confusing. We left for dinner using one gate. And we're told we needed to come back through a different gate. However, from the outside that different gate was difficult to find. We ended up having to call Andre, late, and he was more than willing to come down and help. Would have been good to have clarified gates before leaving.
Also, we needed to leave around 8:30 am for our next destination. Tried texting our host, no response. And felt bad for waking him up so he could use his card to open the gate for the parking lot. Our lesson, it's good to communicate our agenda to the host the night before since 8:30 may have been too early.
Our best parts of bergamo were thanks to Andre recommendations and were very appreciative of that.
