The apartment is lovely and is as described in the photos and details. The rooms were well furnished and the beds very comfortable. You get used to the church bells. The kitchen was well equiped although we mainly ate upstairs at the dining table. As warned by the host on arrival-there were a few mosquitoes-we did not think to bring repellant in April. The very small shop we used was sufficient and was about 10 minutes walk away. We used public transport and found the bus stop right outside the apartment useful on days when making a connection in Valletta. The 10 minute ferry ride to Valletta is nearby and passes the yachts with Birgu one side and Senglea the other, a simple pleasure and was a great way to start our week. Birgu is lovely and the apartment very well situated with a gorgeous view to get up to every morning and enjoy.
