We spent 5 amazing weeks in Malta, and enjoyed Alison'sbeautiful apartment as our base the whole time. Less than a 10 minute stroll to the bus terminal, ferry terminals, central to everythingin Valletta, only a few steps from Caffe Cordina where we got coffee every day, and just about a restaurant for every type of food you would like to enjoy. The apartment was perfect, and is exactly as the photos show. There is everything you need to make your stay, Alison has really taken the time to think about what her guests need and ensured it was available for you. We did see mention of the noise in previous reviews, but we enjoyed the ambience it created in the evening and it didn't impact our evenings or our sleep (Alison provided earplugs for us though, but were not needed) I am a light sleeper and it was never an issue. we are already planning our next trip to Malta, and will be hoping that this apartment is available for our next trip.
