Michael's apartment is absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. It's located on the second floor of a typical Maltese building in a local neighborhood on the East side from Valetta. The building was restored just a couple of years ago and the amount of work and attention to detail is stunning. This was the first time that I could take an elevator straight into an apartment :-) There are also two other apartments that get rented out, including a breathtaking penthouse. Check-in was smooth and performed by a friendly senior neighbor. The infrastructure in the neighborhood is a bit limited as there is no big supermarket around, but mostly a small grocery store and a butcher. The good thing is that you can experience local life and are far away from typical tourism. A 10 minute ferry ride takes you to Valetta (much better than taking the bus). The ferry terminal is just 5 minutes away from the apartment. The amenities in the apartment were also good - I suggested to Michael so subscribe to more TV channels so that guests can watch some international news channels such as CNN, BBC etc. Everything was great!
