It seems like a great place. I stayed at a place around the corner, so I know that area. It's a busy neighborhood. The good thing is that you are not right at the Spanish Steps.

I am always curious why properties advertise themselves as being steps away from a major tourist site, in the same way that all hotels in Venice say they are minutes away from San Marco and Rialto.

This property is just a little shorter walk to the Spanish Steps than it is to Piazza Navona, and or the Pantheon. They are all less than a ten minute walk. Walking to the Spanish Steps from there will have you going down Via Condotti, Rome's most luxurious shopping street. There is a great restaurant a few minutes walk away, called Il Moro.
