This is a wonderful apartment. If you are lucky enough to visit Valletta, make this your base without hesitation. It is perfectly located with everything you want or need close by.
Spacious, light if you want it to be, uncluttered and a lovely mix of tradition and the convenience of modernity.
We immediately felt at home upon entering and the bottle of chilled white wine in the fridge was a thoughtful welcome.
Alison has provided a stack of useful books and pamphlets to make sure you get the best from your stay, no matter your reason for visiting.
There are some comments that mention noise as an issue because the apartment is centrally located, with many great restaurants and cafe's around. There is also a school in a period building around the corner but we didn't find the noise at all intrusive, just the pleasant babble of people living their lives; no roaring motorbikes, no diesel brooms cleaning the streets, no gangs of drunks singing soccer team songs on their way home at 3.00am.
This is a place where people live, interact and go about their business. There is no through traffic as the street is pedestrianised apart from essential traffic such as garbage collection or special event set-up. Frankly, we could live in this apartment. But if you did, you wouldn't bother cooking very much as you are surrounded by choices, and one of the best is Taproom, immediately opposite your front door.
This is Valletta at its best.
Alison is extremely thoughtful in providing little extras that you will find in the cupboards, such as first aid kit, sewing kit, full instructions of all appliances, and a wonderful book on Caravaggio. She is very attentive and ensures that all is well with your stay.
We would definitely want to stay here again, should the opportunity arise.
