We had a wonderful time at Bin & Ban which felt like home to us. Anna is very kind and welcoming and provided us with great recommendations on restaurants or places to visit. The rooms are decorated with care and have access to the terrace where you have a stunning view over the city. Furthermore, our room had its own bathroom, air conditioning, and a very comfortable bed. The b&b is located in a quiet, well-kept area and the old town and the port can easily be reached by walking along a scenic route. The Brignole train station can also be easily reached on foot (no railway noise pollution in the apartment), which is a big advantage because from there you can take trains or buses to the seaside (Cinque Terre, Nervi, Boccadasse). The highlight is certainly the rich breakfast on the terrace with a view over Genoa. In summary, we had a great time and hope to return soon.

The answer from the host:
Thanks Magnus, you have been a very nice host! Come back whenever you want. I'm waiting for you and your family.

anna

I had a wonderful stay at Anna's place. She was very kind and friendly. The most amazing part was definitely the beautiful balcony and its breathtaking view. The apartment was very clean, in a calm area, and close to the center, so I would strongly recommend Anna's place to anyone who wants to visit Genoa.

anna

Anna is really the perfect host, I didn't miss anything during my stay in her wonderful flat, I felt so comfortable in my room with this unique view over Genoa from my terrace. The generous preparation of breakfast every morning, Anna's advice for a good restaurant, her tips on where to go in Genoa and her respectful way of talking, were the best start I could wish for my holidays. Thanks a lot, Anna! Hope to see you again, some day.

I really enjoyed my stay at Bin & Ban! Outstanding hospitality, with a great hearty breakfast! The room was even more beautiful than in the pictures, with a sublime view of Genoa from the balcony! The apartment is only a 10-15 minute walk from Brignole station, which easily connects to the center via metro or bus, but also Genova Nervi, Portofino, Sestri Levante, and even the Cinque Terre (about 1h30 by train). Even on foot, you can be in the center in just 15-20 minutes. And a bit more for the return, as you have to climb a bit to get to Bin & Ban. But honestly, it's okay! I highly recommend it! A huge thank you to Anna!

Bin & Ban located in a strategic area, close to Brignole station and bus stops. Being in Sesto Piena, as soon as you step out onto the balcony/veranda, you have a wonderful view over the whole of Genoa. And last but not least, the hospitality, care, and friendliness of the owner should be mentioned. Highly recommended.

The answer from the host:
Grazie per l'apprezzamento. Arrivederci!

antonio

Kindness, courtesy, and friendliness of the owner, Mrs. Anna, together with the cleanliness and hygiene of the premises are undoubtedly the strengths of this Bin & Ban, which greatly contribute to making the stay extremely enjoyable. Not to be underestimated is the proximity to the Genova Brignole train station, from which you can easily take a large number of buses as well as the metro (thanks to this latter line, you can reach the Genova Aquarium in less than 10 minutes). Last but not least, the very valuable advice that the very skilled Mrs. Anna provides regarding places to visit, itineraries to follow, tourist destinations, restaurants, etc. A really great place to spend a few days in a city full of history and charm, as well as many gastronomic delights. Highly recommended and recommended!

Excellent stay. Very close to the train station and with a truly enchanting view of Genoa. Mrs. Anna is super kind, helpful, and very attentive to details. We appreciated the cleanliness, the abundant and always varied breakfast with quality products, and the comfort of the beds, particularly appreciated by our son! Highly recommended property.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Chiara! Sono contenta che tu ti sia trovata bene a casa mia. Spero si poterti ospitare in una prossima occasione.

margherita

Strategic location to reach the aquarium and the historic center of Genoa (15/20 minutes on foot through streets with nice little restaurants and shops). The family room is very spacious, very comfortable beds, everything is very clean. The shared bathroom was not a problem, Mrs. Anna also provided detergents for a possible additional DIY cleaning (even though there was never a need). Very abundant and always different breakfast, homemade sweets, fruit, yogurt, jam, honey and Genoese focaccia. We greatly appreciated the availability of Mrs. Anna who suggested where to eat, what to see, and how to reach the various places of our interest. It was a very positive experience and we felt at home.

stayed from 04/25/2019 to 04/28/2019

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille! È stato bello conoscervi e spero di incontrarvi nuovamente. Vorrei solo informare eventuali futuri ospiti che il "bagno in comune", che Margherita e la sua famiglia hanno utilizzato, è in realtà il bagno privato dell'altra camera libera in quell'occasione.

You feel at home, the welcome and availability in particular are to be praised, I recommend it without a shadow of a doubt.

ilenia

Absolutely recommended! We stayed at this Bin & Ban with our 3 and 8 year old daughters. Unfortunately, we only stayed one night, but we will remember it for a long time because the welcome from Mrs. Anna was splendid and her recommendations on what to do, where to dine, and where to find good ice cream were extremely valuable. It is located in a very beautiful and quiet residential neighborhood at night, just a short walk from Brignole station and also convenient to the center (the aquarium, our main destination, is reachable with a half-hour walk). Sharing the bathroom with the other guest did not create any problems, and having breakfast together was a very pleasant convivial moment. Breakfast is rich and abundant, and the Genoese focaccia was the best of all those tried in those two days! We will have to come back. For those who, like us, travel with young children, we recommend bringing a stroller, because being out all day covers a lot of ground!

stayed from 04/21/2018 to 04/22/2018

The answer from the host:
È stato veramente piacevole incontrarvi! Complimenti per l'educazione delle "ragazze". Vi aspetto per una prossima visita più approfondita e per fare scorta di focaccia.

paola

Cozy and splendid house. A heartfelt thanks to Anna, delightful and attentive in hospitality, who knows how to create a family atmosphere immediately, "feeling at home". Starting the day admiring Genova from the terrace, kissed by the first sun, is a great emotion and the soul smiles. Delicious breakfasts like no other, with Ligurian flavors and more. Excellent location that allows you to reach Brignole train station and the city center on foot in a few minutes. Highly recommended!

Excellent hospitality. Mrs. Anna is courteous and helpful and gives excellent advice! Even my 7 and 11-year-old children were happy. The memory of Genoa will remain a beautiful memory thanks to her.

Great find. The Bin & Ban is run by Anna who is kind, caring, and discreet. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. From the terrace, there is a fantastic view of the city and the plants and the sun are no less. Well-organized breakfast for a pleasant morning. Definitely worth going back!

gianluca

A good Bin & Ban for cleanliness, location, and the hospitality of the lady who runs it. The bathroom is clean and shared with other guests, but there were no issues with accessibility at any time. The abundant breakfast is served on a nice terrace with a pretty good view of all of Genoa. Very close to Brignole station, and a 10-15 minute walk to the city center. Maybe not very suitable for those with children in strollers, due to the uphill/downhill roads connecting it to the center, but still in a great location.

Eccellente struttura, in una posizione che offre una veduta splendida sulla città. Bravissima la signora Anna che non è mai venuta meno in cordialità, disponibilità e calore umano. Uno dei pochi B&B in cui regnava una atmosfera "di famiglia", sia nei felici momenti di colazione condivisi con gli altri ospiti, sia come rapporto con il gestore e famigliari che mi ha fatto sentire non come un cliente ma come se fossi "uno di loro". Piacevole anche la colazione, in cui si può disporre di buona scelta di varie prelibatezze e, degno di considerazione, il caffelatte preparato dalla signora Anna meglio che al bar. B&B consigliato vivamente!

Ho soggiornato per svago. Il posto è davvero bello (ampio terrazzo dalla vista mozzafiato sull'intera città), e la posizione del B&B consente di muoversi sempre a piedi, in 15 minuti o poco più si arriva al porto antico e allo splendido acquario di Genova. Gentilissima e iper disponibile la signora Anna, che ti e ti fa sentire come "in casa propria". Non fatevi mancare il suo meraviglioso cappuccino! Ho ricevuto, inoltre, ottimi suggerimenti su come muoversi in città e su come raggiungere le varie mete. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Ho soggiornato per 3 giorni (marzo 2013) per motivi di lavoro. Il posto è davvero bello (ampio terrazzo dalla vista mozzafiato sull'intera città), e la posizione del B&B consente di muoversi sempre a piedi, in 15 minuti si arriva in centro storico e in 10 minuti si arriva alla stazione ferroviaria di Brigonle. Tuttavia, il vero a proprio "pezzo forte" è la proprietaria del B&B, la signora Anna, che ti accoglie in modo davvero caloroso e ti fa sentire come "in casa propria". La signora Anna è stata davvero impeccabile, con la sua attenzione educata e riservata, la completa disponibilità, e il suo "calore umano". Ho ricevuto, inoltre, ottimi suggerimenti su come muoversi in città e su come raggiungere le varie mete. Sono davvero contentissimo del mio soggiorno e di aver conosciuto una persona come la signora Anna. Un posto dove dovrò assolutamente ritornare.
