Minerva's Place is an extremely conveniently located apartment in Rome, and a great value for money. A 10-minute walk from Termini station (the only station connecting both metro lines), you will be very well placed to reach major sights, and if you have the time, even plan a day trip or two away from Rome with zero trouble transport-wise. Going to and coming from airports is easy too. There are regular train and bus serevices from Termini, and a line of taxis with airport fares displayed. With several mini markets, three decent-looking restaurants, and one supermarket in close proximity, the neighbourhood gives you an every-day experience, away from tourist crowds.

As other reviewers have said, yes, the area is not the best-looking in Rome (there is a multi-storey car park at the end of the street whose sight could put off the more exquisite traveller), but it is not a bad area, and I found it to be safe. There is a nice restaurant for al fresco dining almost next door that was open every night we stayed there, and are a few hotels in the same street (the two upper floors of the same building where the apartment is located are also part of a hotel themselves), and every day you can see some tourists coming and going up and down the street to their respective hotels. I would say, it is a good place to stay if you want convenience; it is not if you want glamour.

Guiseppina's daughter, Federica, called me on the day of our arrival, as I made the mistake of just replying to the airbnb notification through email instead of through the airbnb website (for any critical communication do log in and reply through the airbnb website, or your message will not get delivered!). Therefore they didn't know what time we would be arriving. Thankfully we could sort it out by phone, and Federica waited us at the apartment at the agreed time. She even spoke a bit of Spanish to us, which was wonderful!

The apartment was very clean and I found it to be an accurate reflection of the pictures.
