When we were dropped off I was a little apprehensive because it's far from the center and I was unfamiliar with the area. However after discovering all the cute restaurants, gellateria (best gelato I had in Italy), and a huge mall all 10 minutes away. I fell in love. The bus stop is practically outside the door and takes you to central Rome where you can get the metro or other buses. The last stop is a short walk to the colosseum. A few tips, make sure you get the apartment address before arriving so the taxi knows. Also get a price from the taxi before leaving the airport because I paid so much money for that ride!!! Don't trust the cab drivers.
