Nicola's place is ideally suited for exploring Malta, and in particular Valetta. With a local grocery store (that sold *everything*!) and a bus stop within 30 metres of the front door, it was a great location - walking distance to many delicious restaurants too.
We took buses everywhere round the island, including the hop-on, hop-off tour bus and the ferries ... and walked a lot! Tip: get the Explore Plus Meep card when you arrive at the airport and that'll cover almost all travel for the week.
The apartment was very comfortable with room to spread out, great cable tv service - really everything we needed for a week away. We'd certainly stay here again!
