The apartment has a double bed and a sofa to be used as a bed as well. The kitchen is well equipped with all the basics and there’s even a traditional oven, toaster and water cooker. There’s a fridge and a freezer. However, there’s no microwave oven.
The shower is comfortable and hot water is available very quickly.
Good light is coming into the apartment in the morning, which makes it pleasant to have breakfast there.
The host, Jason, is friendly and if you need anything, he’s reachable by phone. The easiest is to send a message via Airbnb.
A small grocery is just 100 meters away at 29 Triq Grima. They close quite early in the evening, so the best time to buy food is in the morning. Supermarkets are about 2 kms away, for example Scott’s Supermarket, at Triq Il-Mina Ta’ Hompesch.
The ferry to La Valletta, is a 5-10 minutes from the apartment, just going down all the way on Triq Grima. http://www.vallettaferryservices.com/
It’s leaving each 30 minutes and it’s easy to go to La Valletta and come back from La Valletta. Day return 2.8 € for adults.
The bus stops Riche and also Dejqa are very close and from there busses go to Publiju, Floriana, from where busses connect the whole island or you can change bus at Paola 3.
Birgu (Vittorioso), Senglea and Kalkara are nice areas where to walk with old architecture. We especially recommend the restaurant D Centre in Birgu, 2, Triq il-Mina il-Kbira. http://www.dcentre.com.mt/
They have an excellent service and food has high quality and reasonable prices.
The good thing with the apartment is to live very close to La Valletta, but still in a neighborhood with almost only locals and few tourists.
The walk from the apartment to Kalkara is also very nice.
To visit in Malta we recommend Mdina and Marsaxlokk. We have been at end of December, so we can’t tell you anything about beaches.
