This is the second time that I have chosen to stay at Minerva house. Giuseppe is a wonderful host. He is quick to respond to communication, anticipates all our needs, and has a comfortable and well supplied house. Any time that I come to Rome, I will look to see if his home is available. I like that the house is so close to Termini Station and that I can easily walk down to the Colosseum. Right around the corner are quick places to eat...but crossing to the other side of the station (really...a 5 minute walk) puts you in the San Lorenzo area which has lots of great restaurants. I travel with kids who love gelato and right around the corner is Fassi - an historic gelateria. Rome is a big city and it is really nice to be in a home that feels like a respite from the pace of the day. (Or take your coffee on the Terrace before launching into the pace of the day!) Finally, Giuseppe is a fantastic and caring host...to me, its a perfect spot!
