Maison d'Art apt 8 is an attractive and stylishly converted apartment : a sympathetic combination of the old (traditional floor tiles and ceilings) and the modern (brand new kitchen and bathroom fittings). The only real downside is the clanging of the 6.30 am church bells, which are extremely LOUD, and go on and on and on.... This is not a good way to start each day! Other than this, and the rather feeble shower, everything was fine. The apartment is well-located for visiting Valletta, and has everything you need for a short stay, plus some helpful touches to make life comfortable (hairdrier, clothes drier, iron and board, basic kitchen cupboard supplies, ample shower gel, CDs, books). We also really appreciated the lift - after a long day's sightseeing this was very welcome indeed. Maria and her housekeeper Sabrina were friendly and helpful and communicated promptly, and all in all we would recommend this apartment.
