One of our favorite parts of Rome was coming back to Alessandro's and Kana's little home. As other reviewers have said, the climb to the apartment is around 25-30 steps up a spiral staircase, but it's a cozy place to take a mid-morning siesta or come home to after a long day. The location is extremely central/convenient (across from Castel Sant'Angelo and Vatican on one side, Piazza Navona and Pantheon on the other). We walked an average of 22,000 steps a day, but used taxis and ubers, too. There are so many great places to eat nearby. We didn't know Pizzeria Da Baffetto was a famous place, good pizza (surly staff, but brusque can be charming if you're in the right mood). We really liked "433" and ate there a few times (quirky decor/music/pop culture-y) and the staff were lovely. La Proscuitteria had delicious panini and was perfect for a quick bite to take away. Our Italian friend took us to Ai Balestrari Campo dei Fiori where we had "Carciofi alla Giudia" (deep-fried whole artichokes), deep fried sage leaves, Fiori di Zucca, and a few other amazing Roman dishes. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make simple meals. Though we did not meet them personally, they were both as affable and as accommodating as you would want in two hosts. They care about your enjoyment of their incredible city.
