Yes, this is as amazing as it looks in photos. So, stop looking beyond and just book this now if you plan to spend any time in the Vatican area. Even if you don't, you should probably still consider this. The outdoor space is large, the hot tub is definitely good after a long day of sightseeing, the bedroom is tastefully designed, two bathrooms.... There is only one flight of stairs to reach the apartment, though there is a narrow circular staircase to reach the second level (that you see in the photos). If you had a young child, it might be difficult to navigate it; otherwise, it's easy.
