The apartment has everything you need for 2 people. Tiled floors and high ceilings which help to keep it cool. However, when it does get hot, the air con is a bonus and the quietest I have come across. The apartment is ideally situated in Valletta, a couple of streets across from the main street, so quiet in the evenings.

If you want to see the rest of Malta then the bus station is close by and a cheap and easy way to travel. I would not hire a car for this location! Ferries are also nearby to both Sliema and The Three Cities. Franco organised a taxi to pick us up from the airport which was most welcome, as our plane arrived after dark and behind schedule. He also sent us a map of the closest small shops and we used these for milk, bread, etc., but when we wanted more choice, we hopped on the ferry to Sliema where there are 2 much larger supermarkets. Mosquitoes - they are a problem - make sure you bring repellent with you.

We loved our stay in Valletta!
