Take the bus from the airport. When you get off the bus, go across the street and down about 1/3 a block. If you walked more than 60 seconds, you went to far or are on the wrong street. It is literally that close. We walked about everywhere but very easy for any kind of transportation. We took the metro up to the Vatican and walked back. One way metro is 1.50 euro. The bed was a bit firm for an older, slightly overweight guy with a bad back and was pretty noisy getting in and out. Other than that, we absolutely loved it. The room was very, very clean and of course we had our own bath which was big with my wife. We never, ever felt unsafe on the whole trip. 1 tip I would suggest is a big, loud fan to circulate the air and drown out the noise with the early am traffic and trash pick up. If we had our windows open, it would have been impossible to sleep. See you Elena on our next trip to Rome!
