Maria's place has a wonderful location right in the heart of Valletta and within easy walking distance of all the main sights. It's in a building tucked behind another building so you don't get a view until you are right at the top floor, where the living room/kitchen is, but when you are there you get a wonderful view out to the sea which is at the end of the street. There aren't any views over Grand Harbour or Marsamxett. The apartment is very quiet. The lift works well. One of the bedrooms does not have an en-suite sink or WC though it has a shower. The sink and WC are on the floor above and then up some more steps. This might be a problem if any of your party were uncertain with their balance or unsure on their feet. Maria herself is tremendously friendly and helpful, responds to queries at once, and is a delight to deal with.
