Convenient apartment in Valletta. I have certainly dealt with much warmer and more welcoming hosts than Franco, but he wasn't unpleasant in any way. Just seemed like he didn't want to have much to do with it once the money had been paid. His friend Alex greeted us upon arriving, and he was very helpful and pleasant. The apartment was pretty good. My only complaint was that you could hear a lot of noise outside at night. This obviously isn't the host's fault, just something worth mentioning to future guests. All in all, reasonably happy with our stay.
