From the moment we booked Casa Di Bine we knew we had made the right decision. Giuseppina was the most helpful and accommodating host we have ever come by and it made the start of our holiday a truly pleasant and memorable experience. Her communication was exemplary and she was most happy to help with any issue or question we had about our stay. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids (a 4yr old and a 14month old) and we booked our transfer from the airport through Giuseppina (we arrived at 10:00am). We were met by the driver at the airport, taken to an area of our choosing and then had our bags dropped to the accommodation a few hours later to meet the check in time. It all went seamlessly and if you're arriving early in Rome, without the possibility of an early check in, then I would recommend this service which Giuseppina can organise for you.

The apartment itself was extremely well presented and I cannot stress enough the level of cleanliness that Giuseppina adheres to. It was without question the 'cleanest' accommodation we have ever stayed in adding to the convenience and homely charm Casa Di Bine projects.

The 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were ample to accommodate our family comfortably and the apartment as a whole is one of the most child friendly places we have stayed in. Our 14month old boy is adventurous to say the least and short of moving a couple of decorative items out of the way at the start, we found ourselves happy to let the kids 'do their own thing' without fear of damaging anything or hurting themselves. The description on the ad is accurate with no surprises on arrival.

The apartment, as stated, is only a few minutes walk from the Colosseum and there are numerous restaurants and bars in the vicinity. While there is a Mini Mart across the road, we found it more convenient to walk to the nearby Carrefour (5-10min walk) which is a much bigger supermarket and open 24/7. The day after we arrived we did a Colosseum tour which we simply walked to. The next day we did a Vatican tour which we took a taxi (cost was approx 20euro) after which we made our way back to the apartment visiting the main sights in Rome along the way. Our final day I walked to the train station to pick up our hire car which we drove to Florence. The point is that everything is at you fingertips and we managed to 'see the sights' with only 1 short taxi ride required - and please note you can walk to the Vatican from the apartment, we chose not to due to the kids.

We can not recommend Casa Di Bine highly enough. Our stay in Rome was a truly magnificent experience enhanced by our wonderful accommodation, and more importantly our friendly, helpful and professional host, Giuseppina.
