This is a really exceptional Airbnb. We have stayed in many all over the world and we don't hesitate to rate poor ones appropriately - this one stands out for comfort, location and the host. First up, the location - you can literally see into St. Peters square from your front door. We knew we would be close to the Vatican, but we didn't realize we would be right beside it. Yet the location is both quiet and safe (there are police offices in the lower floors of the building). Close to everything, yet a quiet little oasis. Next is the apartment itself - newly renovated (we stayed in April 2022) to a high and modern standard, large rooms and a large, quiet private terrace (the terrace does not look into the Vatican). Well equipped, although check to see if the air conditioning has been installed yet if that's important for you - and given that this is a penthouse, it will become relevant in the summer. The listing clearly stated no air con when we booked, (not necessary in April), but the hoses are there just waiting for the wall units to be installed and we're assuming it's just a matter of time. Finally, the host Francesca was extremely responsive via WhatsApp and it was clear she had a real interest in ensuring our comfort. There were a couple of small issues from the previous guest and she had someone there immediately to fix things. We would gladly stay there again and intend to when we return to Rome in the future.
