We'll be in Rome from June 26 to July 3. But won't be home till July 27. We leave tomorrow!!! Starting with a month in New York before heading across the pond to London.

Thanks for your words of encouragement lvitaly. I'm so glad we switched from the Rondanini apartment we rented last year to the Minerva one this year. Looks like we've made a good choice.

Oh my NeoPatrick-tomorrow!!
Yes you will be thrilled with Minerva, i almost did not want to ever share my find!! To me, its just the best choice around IMO!!!
But the owner did ask me to spread the word, she is a sweet woman whom i am sure you will meet if she is still the one letting people in.
Did Sleep In Italy give you a contact number to call and set up a time for you to be let in??
Anyway have a fabulous time and will look foward to your trip report :)

No, I haven't comfirmed the arrangements yet for meeting. We arrive at FCO at 5:30 PM from London, so it will be an early evening meeting -- I'll email a few weeks before arrival to set it up.

One think I love, is knowing exactly where it is -- especially since that other site even shows a picture of the exterior of the building, and I know which side of the Pantheon it faces. This is one time we should have no problem finding our place. Now our apartment in Venice on the other hand. . .

My family and I (group of 6) just came back from Rome. Seriously check out:

Apartment was very nice and could easily accommodate us all. Good luck!
