Francesca's apartment was very clean and comfortable and more spacious than an hotel room. She was a gracious host and was very easy to contact at all times. We were even able to do some washing while we were there which was great after three weeks travelling. It is in a great location ~ close to the city centre and about a 30 minute walk to the ferry terminal for our trip to Sicily. Even though it was a basement apartment with no views there was enough light coming in from the street. There was no air conditioning but was still cool despite being very warm in Valletta at the time. We enjoyed our stay there and considered it good value for the price.
