Yes, the view of St. Peter's is as great as it looks in the picture. The pictures of the outdoor patio don't do it justice. Everything is very convenient - bus, train, cafes, grocery stores, restaurants. Britta is an excellent host. We had lengthy, unexpected plane delays, which greatly affected our check in time, and she stayed in constant contact with us and was very patient as we worked through it. The beds were comfortable and the place was spacious and spotless. It was well over 90 degrees while we were there and the air conditioning worked great! I would definitely recommend this apartment and would happily stay there again if the opportunity arose.
