I would recommend Sonja's place to anyone traveling to Malta. The location cannot be beaten- it's right in the center of Valletta and less than 2 minute walk to multiple restaurants and shops. The apartment itself is adorable with the old stone and unique features. Although it's a basement apartment we didn't find it to be too dark or humid; the host provided a de-humidifier which worked very well, and if you open the windows on the doors you can get a sufficient amount of natural light. The couple taking care of the apartment are absolutely lovely and truly go out of their way to help you feel comfortable. They even arranged a ride to the airport for us at 4am. Especially when the price is taken into account, I absolutely could not recommend this place highly enough!
