We stayed at Lara’s apartment for a couple of days over New Year’s. The apartment is simple but spacious. It made an excellent home base for a weekend of exploring. Anita met us in person despite our flight being delayed and the bus being late, which was incredibly nice of her. The building was secure and quiet, and close to a corner market (a little rare in Valletta). We didn’t actually get to make use of the rooftop deck (it was barred off during our stay), but in general this was a perfectly nice place to stay.
