While this property is small, it more than makes up for its size with a fairly recent renovation project that managed to get a nook complete with a glass door - essentially a micro-bedroom - in what was once a proper studio. In total, Minerva can now accommodate up to 4 people who will sleep on extremely comfortable sofa beds: the other one is just outside the front door.
We recommend this accommodation for friends traveling together or a young family with children who want to be in the middle of the action. Campo de' Fiori, Piazza Venezia, the Jewish Ghetto or Piazza Navona are all within walking distance. In terms of security, Minerva 1 is unbeatable - seconds from your door is one of the seats of the Italian government, making this area one of the safest in the city, if not the country.
A kitchenette has also been added, with all the essentials for preparing your meals from scratch should you wish to stay in and enjoy the view or people watch: a gas stove, a mini-fridge, a Nespresso, a microwave, a toaster. Pots and pans are also included, as well as cutlery, basic utensils and dishes.
The only bathroom has a shower and a washing machine - your laundry can be hung in the mini courtyard at the back of the studio, where our smoking guests can also enjoy their cigarettes.
This property comes with independent heating, has an A/C system, and a free Wifi connection is offered to all guests. A TV set with local channels is available in the micro-bedroom, which also features a wardrobe.
What a gem! The appartment was absolutely perfect for our needs: equiped with washer, kitchen, hairdryer, umbrellas etc. But the best part was... the location and the view. We were litterally 30 seconds away from the main entrance to the Pantheon and right by all the attractions in historic center. We could see the Pantheon from our windows and everything was walkable. The furthest point for us was the Colloseum which was only 25 minute walk. I trully recommend this place... it feels like home and put you in the heart of Rome.
Love the apt, walk to Firenze SM Novella Train station!
Awesome apt! Host was great, commune very well. Very clean. Updated bathroom. Itâs about 15 -20 min walk to Florence city center (Boboli Gardens and/or Pitti Palace but when we were leaving and got a quote for a cab (66 at 6:45 am), we were so thankful we could walk to the train station in 15 mins. Super easy too! Would definitely recommend this place!
