Thank you Marisa - you are a great host. Apartment was just right for us and we managed to park within 40 metres the whole week - Local convienence shops open late. The Valleta ferry is about 15min walk and wld recommend Tiffanys Bistro great food (opp Sliema/Valletta ferry) and Cordina's on Republic Street in Valletta. Wish we had avoided Golden Wok in Sliema though. There is a safe swimming spot less than 10min walk along the promenade (Tower Rd) Ghadira Bay is a decent beach which we liked on our lazy day. We struggled with tv - until we read the instructions properly!! Thank you again Marissa
