The apartment is one of the most tastefully decorated and comfortable airbnbs that we have ever stayed in - and we’ve stayed in many. It is well-equipped, spacious, filled with light, and clean. Yes, you can see St. Peter’s from several of the apartment’s windows! There is a bit of street noise so if you are a light sleeper, remember you ear plugs. The noise did not impact our sleep in the least. You will want this apartment to be yours for longer than your Airbnb stay.
