We felt quite welcome as although Alison was unavailable when we arrived she assisted in arranging a taxi at the airport and having Mellisa at the property to greet us. The unit is not only newly refurbished it is also tastefully decorated. The weather was unseasonably hot and humid but fans and a de-humidifier kept the unit comfortable. The kitchen had ample equipment and the beds were comfy. The listing is quite close to the water in the old city of Vallettaand at first sight the area looks a bit run-down but there seems to be a lot of renovation of the surrounding historic buildings going on by the locals. It is in a convenient location to walk to the nearby attractions, of which there are many, but far enough out to be quiet and safe. There is also a bus stop around 100 metres away. If the opportunity ever arises we would love to stay again as it is a unique but comfortable home.
