We didn't get a chance to meet Maria but she was nice to drop us a message during our stay to check in on us. We arrived late in Malta because of a late flight in and by the time we got to the apartment, it was close to midnight. Still, Sabrina (the housekeeper) was there waiting for us and showed us the entire place.

Maria's place is awesome. The private lift brings you right up to the penthouse, with two separate bedrooms and a living room and kitchen above. There is even a rooftop which you can access via a ladder and it gives you an awesome view of the sea, and on a clear night, the stars.

Both bedrooms come with its own bathrooms, one of which is with clear doors - so it may be a bit awkward if you're not a couple in that room. If you're a couple, it's a perfect romantic place!

The apartment has a lot of stairs so if there is anyone in the family who has problems with mobility, staying at this place may be a problem. We loved the stairs as it gave us the exercise we needed after all the good food around the place!

The location of the home is very near everything you need to see in Valletta. Most of the sights are within walking distance and if you are Catholic, you would appreciate many churches nearby. There is a small convenient store just a few doors down the road where you can get bread, eggs and milk at a reasonable price for breakfast.

Parking was a little hard to find and on most nights we found parking (free) a few streets down (about 5 to 8 minutes walk away).

We had a late flight out and Maria was nice to allow us to stay a little later so we had more time to see Valletta.

Valletta is a pretty place in Malta with narrow streets and cobbled stone roads, and staying in this apartment just made it all prettier.

Overall, a very comfortable stay!
