Although located at a busy hub (Metro, busses, and taxis are all easily accessed), the broad front window is double-paned and sound-proofed. So, all quiet with a great view of Roman street life, directly across from the historic Porto di Flaminio and Piazza Popolo.
For a green getaway, Parco Borghese is just up the hill. There are a couple of markets and take out restaurant just below and a Carrefour Express around the corner.
