This place was outstanding. The pictures are accurate and you are essentially staying in a castle/fortification. The apartment reflects this with the original limestone walls, wood, etc, but has modern necessities that are well integrated. The location is simply amazing and picturesque, exactly as you might image for Birgu. Tons of great spots for dinner (patio section of BeBirgu in the square was our favorite). The unit is with 5 minutes walking distance from several museums/points of interest. The only thing to keep in mind is that there are limited shopping choices in Birgu and also there is no washing machine. Although there could be closer places, the nearest laundromat we found was in Sliema. Still, given the charm of Birgu and this unit, we would without hesitation stay here again.
