My husband and I absolutely loved Bernard's apartment in Valletta. It was huge! Beautifully designed, clean, with comfortable beds and sofa, and all the amenities we could need. The views from the living room were stunning and the location within Valletta was great too - so quiet!

It was really nice to be able to arrive and let ourselves into the apartment without having to organise precise times to meet the host and go through a long induction. It meant we didn't have to stress about our flight delays and we could just get on with enjoying our holiday. Bernard text us to check we arrived ok and we felt confident he would be on hand if we needed anything during our stay (which we didn't). Just a tip for when you first arrive - pull the main door towards you when turning the key (once we worked out the knack to get in we were fine!).

Valletta itself was lovely - the people were really friendly and there were loads of great restaurants, museums and boat tours. The good (and cheap!) bus services made it the perfect base to get out and about and explore the whole island. A great place to go for a bit of winter sun (first week of February and we had glorious sunshine and about 18 degrees everyday - a wee bit different from Edinburgh...). We would definitely stay again.
