I had a great time in Malta and the accommodation being a beautiful penthouse that is centrally located was a large factor. The view off the balcony of the top story looks out on to an endless view of five story limestone buildings, a testament to the amount of limestone that has been quarried in Malta's past. The bus stop just downstairs leads to the Bimbi station which allows the tourist the advantage of the bypassing Valletta Bus Interchange to visit the major sites on their explorer plus bus card. Google maps has the latest up to date Malta public transport information and was reliable. A pleasant 20 minute walk to the north and you arrive in Sliema where there is also a ferry service that offers an alternative means of transport to Valletta.
