This is a really nice place to stay with a great view. The penthouse is very complete and big. We did our sightseeing by public bus and with the busstop just in front of the building this was very easy. Keep in mind that in August the buses can be very crowded and therefor not every bus will stop at the busstop. Nevertheless we managed to get on a bus within half an hour each time we traveled by bus. The shops are 5-10 minutes walk from the penthouse. We had a great time in Malta and our host Alfred was very helpful when we needed him. We certainly recommend this penthouse!
