The apartment is 5 minutes from the Metro A Cipro stop, and is just 2-3 blocks away from several Rome ATAC bus stops. Half block away from the apartment is the market, Mercato Trionfale where you'll find fresh produces, fruits, meats and sea foods vendors. The streets just off the walls of Vatican City might be full of tourists during the day, most of the dinner time patrons at those restaurants slightly away from Vatican City are more likely local residents.
