If you are looking for an excellent accommodation in an authentic area, don't hesitate to book the room in George's house. You can live here as a local in a typical maltese house, try the little cute cafes and restaurants nearby. Public transport is excellent, bus stops are just for 5-10 minutes walking distance from the flat. Valletta is just 10 minutes away by bus, but we discovered the whole island (and also Gozo) from here. George is an eager and helpful host, and he really cares about his house. The rooftop terasse is also convenient if you intend to chill out in the evening but don't want to go out. Highly recommended!
