Alberto's place is located in the small town Isla (Senglea), which is a really great place to stay if you're not looking for nightlife and touristic things. Very quiet/safe and has a few nice restaurants mainly frequented by locals close by (don't miss Marina on the Senglea Waterfront - they serve absolutely wonderful octopus and other seafood). 15 min walk for ferry to Valletta and public buses just a few blocks away. Getting there from the airport by bus is very easy, it just takes a while since buses aren't that frequent.

The apartment itself is just as described, the only problem being humidity, but just leave the windows open and it's fine (the area is so quiet that you can sleep well anyway).

Alberto was not able to meet us upon arrival but check in was no problem and we felt very welcome.

We would stay again at Alberto's place and can also recommend it to others!
