We had Franco's ground floor flat in Valletta and we're happy with the two bedrooms since we were three. The entire flat was of a good size including a well provided for kitchen and a good bathroom. There were plenty of places to sit in a sort of living room where there was a TV with several English language stations including three with news.
The flat is located about halfway between the main street (Republic) and the ferry slip to Sliema. There were a couple of mini markets that were quite close
where you can pick up basic foodstuffs. Loads of cafes and restaurants all over Valletta amidst the tourist attractions.
There was early morning noise with tearing up the road in front of the place which is probably finished by now. We did not meet Franco but he made
himself available for help by phone if we had needed it. We used the public buses to get away from Valletta but Franco offered a taxi service to and from the airport. We did not avail ourselves since we had little luggage and it was an
easy walk to the buses.
