We enjoyed our stay at Lara's place which were especially well-equipped with heaters to warm the room up during the chilly period in Malta.
There was just enough in the kitchen for us to prepare meals which was useful for a 4-day stay.
Location is great and you can pretty much walk anywhere in Valetta. It was quiet apart from some noise from the neighbours above.
We did not meet Lara, but Anita her housekeeper was very friendly and brought us around the property.
