If you are heading for Malta you couldn't find a better area to stay in . Il Birgu is one of the three cities, the marina is lovely, edged by Historical buildings , shops ,bars and restaurants. A great place to view all this is from the balcony of this wonderful apartment. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and a big smile from the owner Kenneth who made us feel at home and provided valuable info about where to go and what to do during our stay. Situated above a shop ,a deli and an enticing ice-cream café it is a perfect place for a base to explore Malta.
