This is a beautiful, modern apartment, a short walk from Valletta's center. While we didn't use the dining area (it's gorgeous, but we didn't stay long enough to have a chance to use it), we loved the roof deck, with a 360 degree view of the city, Sliema, and the Three Cities. The fridge was packed with drinks--two bottles each of two kinds of water, orange juice, and Cisk--that were very much appreciated. And have I mentioned the apartment has a hammock, in case you get tired of the bed and chairs? And a towel warmer? There are two nice bars and a great local restaurant within five minutes. A fun tip: walk from the apartment to the wall, and walk along the top of the wall around the city at least once while you're there.

The hosts were great. We only saw them when there was a problem, but they were extremely responsive; when we had trouble with the door, Nadja came right over; Anna texted us on Airbnb the next day to see if we needed anything; and when we had an issue with the heating, Chris came by a few minutes later and resolved it (tip: the heating/air conditioning won't work if there are any open windows). They were very friendly when we saw them, happy to offer tips on local places to check out on top of the ones listed in their booklet, and booked us a reliable taxi for 4 in the morning, even sending us the driver's phone number.

Just one caveat: if you have two people staying in the room, you only get one key card, and without it none of the electricity in the room (including the Wifi) will work. So if one of you goes out, you'll have to leave the key and need a way to contact the other person to let you in.
