Ilona was warm and friendly and we really appreciated her detailed explanation of the apartment and the neighborhood at check-in: she was full of useful information and supplied tourist brochures and maps of the area. She also arranged taxis to and from the airport, which was very helpful, especially for our early morning departure. The area, Floriana, is conveniently located near bus transportation and is a short walk from historic Valletta, so it's perfect for those without a car who want to be near the old city and the waterfront, yet have access to buses around the island. The apartment was as advertised in the listing, although perhaps a bit dark. It was clean and well-equipped with most kitchen necessities and a washing machine. The neighborhood is charming and peaceful, with a park a block away offering tremendous views of the harbor.
