My four friends and I had a lovely time. The apartment is incredibly centrally located, with shops and restaurants close by. Everything was very clean and checking into the apartment was very easy, thanks to Maria's instructions. It is a bit dark since it's on the ground floor/first floor, but we were outside all the time anyway. We were woken up quite early in the morning by the church bells ringing, but it was a religious holiday so we don't think that's an everyday occurence. Overall we would recommend Maria's apartment as a great place from which to explore Valletta and beyond.
