We absolutely loved this apartment...especially it's location! It is clean, bright and cheerful. Right in front of it is a building with a morning farmer's msrket, so we were ably to buy fresh fruits everyday. Out the door to the left about five houses down is a nice "walk in" grocery, if you continue to the end of the block (these are short Italian blocks in this neighborhood) and turn right, at the end of that block on the left side is a bakery with wonderful Italian breads and rolls, but....instead of turning right, after you pass the grocery, if you continue just walking straight a couple of blocks where the road comes to a "T", if you look to the left you will see a nice, small neighborhood Church. On the right hand side of the church is the entrance to the metro.....which not only connects you to all of Rome but also to "Termini"....with connections back to the airport...or to trains going to Florence, Venice, Pompeii, etc.
Also, out the door to the right, about three short blocks straight ahead you arrive at the stairs, at the top of which is the entrance to the Vatican Museum. It is at the bottom of these stairs where we met our tour for the museum and St Peter's.
We found prices for food, pizza and other items much lower in this neighborhood between the apartment and the metro stop I mentioned, than even two blocks away going in the direction of the Vatican.
We don't mind short walks, so it was nice being so close to the Vatican and to the short bridges across the river to the main tourist sites.
While every tourist claims they found the best gellato in Rome, we found a wonderful Gelato place with really good Gelato (and prices) right in front of the church I mentioned next to the metro stop. (If you were walking out of the church, it is directly across the street looking to the right).
