Here, you're in the heart of Ancient Rome.  The Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and Arch of Constantine are all within a 5-minute walk.  So are the exquisite basilicas of San Clemente, with its underground excavations; Santi Quattro Coronati, with the most beautiful cloister in Rome, opened by a nun once you ring the bell; Santo Stefano Rotondo, one of Rome's four round churches; and Santa Maria in Domnica, with the charming ancient sculptured boat right in front.  All of these monuments mean fascinating walks, adjacent to some of Rome's most beautiful green spaces.

But at the same time, you're slightly off the beaten path.  The neighborhood is typical and authentic Rome: restaurants, wine bars, nightclubs, cafes, pizzerias, gelateria, small shops, galleries, tobacconists, excellent produce stand, supermarkets, and useful services of all sorts are literally just steps away.  So is transport by bus, taxi, and metro to more far-flung sights in the Eternal City, like the Vatican, Spanish Steps, and Piazza Navona.
