The apartment is within walking distance to nearly everything, but this is if you want or can walk 20-30 min. If that is not possible then buses run regularly to places like the colosseum, Roman Forum and the Vatican. We chose to walk to most everything. There are some little neighborhood restaurants on the same street, little places. One owner got to know us and always remembered what wine we like and that I am gluten free. There is a open air market every morning that is only a couple of blocks away.
