We had a lovely time at Francianne's apartment. She arranged to have us picked up at the airport and left a map in the apartment to help us find our way around the island. The apartment was spacious and clean. It is less then a 10-minute walk to either St. Julian's Bay, where there are plenty of restaurants or Sliema's water front, where you will be able to catch buses anywhere on the island. I would definitely recommend staying at Francianne's apartment.
