Claudette's place is perfect for the first visit to Malta. The apartment is located very central but in the quiet district. Ten minutes walk to the bus station just near Valetta city gates makes it very easy for exploring the island by bus. Typical Maltese stone walls at the appartement are very picturesque but provide dust as well, and there is more fungus than we are used to, all over the island in general as well as at the appartement, so blame the humid climate. There are no big supermarkets or markets at the area but a lot of little shops selling local pastries and pies, cheap and very tasty. Claudette and her parents were very helpful and ready to solve any inconvenience. We will cherish our Maltese adventure, that differs from a standard hotel experience but was definitely more interesting. Thank you Claudette and the family! Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium
