Giuseppe was a very kind host who was able to give us information on nice places to visit in the area surrounding the house, and very useful directions to the house before we checked in.
Minerva House is very well located (only 5/10 minutes walk from the nearest Metro stop), which made making our way around Rome very easy! There were also plenty of restaurants and a supermarket nearby which proved very useful numerous times during our stay.
The house itself was also nice; the bedrooms were all very quiet during the night and the terrace was a nice place to sit at meal times, too. The kitchen was very well-equipped and had all the equipment necessary to make evening meals, as well as basic food necessities.
However, the lack of air-conditioning in the house did make it difficult to get to sleep in the evenings, with only a fan or two in each room to compensate.
When we arrived the house had not been fully prepared for our arrival, for example the beds had not been made in the way we had asked, so we had to change the bed layout ourselves.
As well as this, it would have been nice to have had pre-warnings from the host of visits to the house because our second evening at the house was slightly interrupted by the host arriving to try fix the shower door, which had been broken by a previous guest.
Overall, the house was a good find for a group of friends spending the week in Rome, despite a couple inconveniences.
