GREAT place to stay in Rome. Great location for train station, like 3 minute walk, but be prepared to walk further to major sites. We LOVe to walk around to the sites, so not a problem for us. Only about 25-30 minutes for everything. Definitely take a metro to Vatican. Although we walked it one way. We did walk with kids under 12 and they did just fine. Very nice location, felt 100% safe, very clean and modern apartment. Stocked kitchen with cooking supplies, full size fridge and freezer.
