A tastefully furnished and sparkling clean apartment located right in the heart of the city. Absolutely perfect for exploring Valleta's attractions and a ten minute walk away from the islands public transport hub.
The balcony overlooks Republic Square which is surrounded by cafes and bars. This is great as it means you're never more than a stones throw away from a quality meal. In addition theres a major supermarket and foodcourt just around the corner.
There is a slight caviet though, as these cafes host live music from early evening until around 2300 which can be quite loud. In our case it wasn't much bother at all and I'd expect there to be a little noise in such a central urban location anywhere in the world. However it may be an issue for those looking for a quiet spot in the evening.
As for the apartment itself, some of the touches in furnishing reminded me of the state rooms from the nearby Grandmasters Palace more than any accommodation I've stayed in before, truly beautiful.
Additionally, having stayed in Malta without dedicated aircon in the past this apartments three units were an absolute God send at night and after an eventful day.
Contact with Umberto and his family was always cordial and concise. They own the boutique across the road and Umbertos office is right there too. The help they provided in arranging a taxi to and from the airport was greatly appreciated, alongside luggage hold on our last day, beach towels on our request and a fresh change of sheets midway through our stay.
I'd highly recommend this apartment and I can't think of any more central a location in Valetta.
