Bancalegno Sweet Dreams

a lot of space, very comfortable bed, perfect location (everything is close, including the bus to the airport

The property’s location is excellent, with easy access to transportation, being close to the train station and several public transport stops. The apartment was very clean and well maintained, and it was clear that it had been thoroughly cleaned before our arrival. The apartment was also very well equipped. Everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided, including cutlery, plates, pots and pans, an iron, ironing board, a hairdryer, and even a washing machine. An additional advantage was the efficient air conditioning, which ensured a comfortable stay even on very hot days. Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. We particularly appreciated that we were allowed to check in as soon as the apartment had been cleaned and prepared, which made our arrival much more convenient.

There are also a few minor drawbacks which are hardly noticeable during a short stay, but may become more apparent if you stay for more than a few days. The apartment is rather dark, which is probably part of the charm and character of traditional Italian buildings. In addition, the sound insulation could be better, as noises from the neighboring apartment and the corridor can be heard quite clearly. Light sleepers may want to take this into consideration.

We stayed in the non-split, bijou apartment (pictures 2-4) which had good facilities and a comfortable couch for relaxing. I loved the bathroom decoration. Reasonable location for restaurants and shop although quite a walk to the funicular to upper Bergamo. We only stayed 2 nights, but this would be a good base for a longer stay to explore the area.

Don't use Google Maps fastest route from the station to the accommodation as it goes through an edgier part of town - take the slightly longer route through the shopping area. If using the washing machine, there is nowhere to hang out laundry to dry (either inside or outside). Closing the external shutters will remind you that you're in an edgier part of town as it looks into a dirty shared atrium.

Everything was good except for the fact that there were no blankets inside the apartment, and when requested, the owner told us he couldn’t provide any which spoiled the impression. And for us it was so cold to sleep without it! Also, I could see the towles were washed, but they had a weird smell.
