Martin's place is a brilliant base in Valletta, everything you might want to see is close by.

As others have mentioned, you can swim from the rocks outside the city wall 2 mins from the apartment, there is a great little cafe right across the street, and several local shops just around the corner.

Martin is the perfect host, he picked us up from the airport, and made sure we felt at home on our arrival.

The flat has everything you would want for your stay, it keeps cool with it's thick stone walls but fans and a/c are provided too. The shower is lovely!

Valletta is an exuberant place with plenty of street life and you are right in the middle of it so don't expect tranquility and silence in the streets outside, that said this is not 24 hour party town, we were never kept awake at night by noise.

I would definitely reccommend Martin's place and Valletta.
