Although we did not meet Franco he emailed us detailed information on the apartment and Malta. He also organised a driver to pick us up from the airport (for a reasonable price) and ensure we were delivered with keys to the apartment. We then spoke to Franco on the phone who assured us he would be available in we had any problems
The apartment is ideally situated in Valetta close to all amenities - bus terminal, ferries, stores etc. it is off the Main Street so it is fairly quiet. The apartment was clean and comfortable and spacious for 2 of us. It would be OK with 4. The only issue we had was with the key to the main front door. There was a tricky knack to opening it which took some pains to master. I would advise future tenants to make sure they are shown how when they arrive Overall we enjoyed our 6 days at Franco's
