On arrival, Alexiei's dad Paul was waiting for us at the apartment. He explained everything about the apartment, told us where the nearest supermarkets are, and gave us some useful suggestions on places to visit and how to get there. He's very friendly and lives nearby. He said we could always contact him in case we needed help.
The apartment is located right next to the entrance of the Lower Barrakka Garden, and we found it easy to find. It's a well-equipped apartment. The location is perfect for exploring the island. It's a <10-minute walk through the old city of Valletta to the central bus station, from where buses to all over the island depart.​
