The Il-Birgu townhouse of Jean-Marc is a marvel, located in the middle of Il-Birgu, the oldest town in the Valetta area. Just next to the apartment is the armoury of the Knights of Malta, which (apperently) was already used in the Great Siege! The apartment itself is beautiful, and seems originally restored with the nice balconey etc. Jean-Marc was very helpful and answered all the questions I had. Only drawback I saw in the location is the missing of a larger supermarket, only one minimarket is (seemed mostly closed) in town, and one (late open) minimarket is next to the AUM. The area around AUM is surely nice to sit in the grass and relax though. Also appreciated the ferry that carried one directly to Valetta, close to the Barrakka Gardens.
