Don’t hesitate if you want to stay in a bit if history with all of Valetta at your fingertips. You could not ask for more responsive hosts and it is clear they love their flat and their country- a wealth of knowledge and incredibly thoughtful touches throughout the flat. We were given a zillion suggestions about what to see and where to eat and there was loads of info in the flat in case you don’t remember it all. We mentioned wanting to go to the beach for a day and were given a number of options to suit different needs and, then, the next day we got a message offering to drop off beach towels in case we needed them. Such thoughtful hosts.
The bed is comfy, the kitchen complete and the little desk provides a nice place to do some work (which, sadly, we had to during our trip). The thick walls helped keep things cool and more often than not a nice breeze flowed through to freshen things up. There is construction all over Valetta as more old buildings are renovated, so be prepared for a little noise. We slept with the windows open and simply popped on the A/C for white noise when the work started and headed back to bed for more of a snooze. As an aside, if you have any mobility issues then this is not the flat for you- the steps are originals and a well worn and the toilet is halfway between the bottom floor entrance and the top floor living space. We loved this and enjoyed this quirk but it would be difficult for anyone who struggles with stairs.
Finally, June turned out to be a great time to visit (despite the daily arrival of cruise boats) because the Valetta Film Festival was on. We loved the film we managed to get tickets for (some shows sell out, so book early!)
