I had a lovely stay at Maria Cristina's place. Unfortunately it had to be short, because I flew into Bergamo airport in the evening and was departing early the next morning. The apartment was warm, comfortable and spacious, with a big bed, immaculately clean bathroom, and convenient kitchen. I had not intended to use the kitchen at all, but as it turned out, it saved me. I arrived too late for the local restaurant and even the takeaway pizza. Maria Cristina's husband, who greeted me at check-in, walked me to the local restaurant (closed), rang for the pizza (they were closing). He then went back to his house and brought me some spaghetti and a few other food items so I could cook a meal. His kindness and generosity really impressed me, and made it possible for me to have a good night's sleep (even though too short!). I left well before dawn by taxi, and the instructions for locking up and leaving the key were very clear. The only downside of the experience (which had nothing to do with the apartment) was the price of the taxi to and from the airport. It is only a 5 - 7 minute drive, yet it cost €20 to arrive and €26 to leave in the morning. For anyone wanting to stay in the area, this apartment is ideal, with its nice little kitchen, comfortable living space and kind, helpful hosts! Highly recommended!!!
