The flat is clean and quite spacious. There's a small balcony to sit on next to the sofa, and a bigger one by the bedroom but that is an internal one without sun/view (great for drying clothes on through). Gzira is a more 'local' part of the area and we enjoyed being out of the sparkling touristy areas. That said, we were very close to the harbour ferry from Sliema to Valletta. This was very cheap so we often went across for dinner. There was a lot of noise from building works but that seems to be the case across the town (boom in construction?). The flat has a washing machine which was super handy! The bedroom (only) had aircon which was definitely needed! I would recommend a small café nearby called L'Angolo. All in all the flat was a perfect base for exploring the area and my boyfriend and I had a really relaxing holiday. MaltaLets were very clear and helpful when greeting us and arranging airport transfers which went really smoothly.
