Le Guide ai Quartieri
My apartment is located in the Prati district, adjacent to the Vatican City and one of the most elegant in the town.
The Historical Center is located beyond the Tiber River, while the Monti district is slightly further away (though just under one hour's walk).
The popular district of Trastevere is just after the Vatican City.
Trastevere is the most famous district of Rome after the Historic Center. It's just 35 minutes walking from my apartment (about 20 minutes by bus nr. 23).
I suggest you go there in the evening, before 9pm if you want to visit the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere.
Here you can find small shops (often artisanal) and many bars and restaurants for cheap dining.

Ukuzulazula
Rome is not a big city. Walking is the best way to visit it.
Usually when I go to visit a new city I prefer to move walking, because this allows me to learn more about the details. This is even more true for Rome, where it is possible to find a historical detail in any corner.
If you walk past a church, you should lose 2 minutes to get in, you might find a fresco or a painting by a famous painter. Usually churches are open all day until evening.

Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.
I suggest you book through their website a few weeks in advance, as soon as you have planned your trip to Rome.
