We had a lovely stay in Valletta at Bernard's apartment, which is in a wonderful location - very quiet and overlooking the recently refurbished St Elmo's Fort (the new Museum of War in the fort is worth a visit, incidentally). There is a grocery store and a bakery and two excellent restaurants - Pablo and Margo - within a 5 minute walk. Having said that, Valletta is so small that everywhere is within a 15-20 minute walk from the apartment.

The apartment is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The rooms are light and airy and there's plenty of space. It was perfect for our family (2 adults and 1 child).

Bernard is a fantastic host, who always responded to emails promptly. He answered our questions about Malta before we arrived and left a bag of toys for our son to play with while he was there.

A highly recommended apartment in a highly recommended city.
