This apartment is in a residential, not-yet-gentrified area just minutes away from the heart of Valletta. It is very convenient to the main bus station that links Valletta to the rest of the island. Several small grocery stores are on the street and cafes are just around the corner. The area feels safe and is mostly quiet. If you want to get a feeling for how "locals" live but still want convenience to the major sites of Valletta, this location is A+. As for the apartment itself, even though it could sleep 4 people, it is probably a better size for 2. The main bed is placed in a loft space at the top of spiral stairs, where the bathroom is also located. The kitchen area is on the lower level across from the red couch shown in the pictures. It is basic and has a small fridge, a hot plate and basic utensils. Overall, the apartment has a rustic feel. Communication with Ian was smooth and he was very friendly. Although we loved staying here, for us, unfortunately, the mattresses were quite uncomfortable.
