If you are looking for an ideal apartment for a couple, you would be hard pressed to find a better place to stay in Valletta. The location is perfect. All of Valletta is within walking distance of Chiara's place, including the opposite part of town. Located one block away from the Siege Bell War Memorial on the waterfront, it's an easy location for taxi drivers to locate, as well as helpful in gaining your bearings on your first day in town.
The bedroom is upstairs and has a very strong air conditioner. The entire apartment is nicely decorated. It's equipped with a nice washing machine and dryer for cloths. The bathroom fixtures work perfectly - strong shower, in particular. The kitchen is well designed with some basic food staples and Chiara was very thoughtful, having purchased some orange juice, milk, two cans of Maltese beer and other food for our first day - a Sunday when many of the local shops are closed. We were coming in on a late evening arriving flight and Chiara had her representative meet us at the apartment despite the late check-in.
Internet WiFi service has good bandwidth and worked perfectly.
To help you locate the apartment, this link will take you to the Google Map view of the small street the apartment is located on: http://bit.ly/2tONu9u On Google maps and in GPS systems and a few other online map sites, the street is named "Bjar."
One of the best restaurants for true Maltese food,
'Nenu The Artisan Baker," is located only a couple of blocks away. Click here for walking directions: http://bit.ly/2eCHM8U Nenu was recommended by Chiara and I also knew of the restaurant. It's fabulous. There are other options a few blocks from the apartment. There's much to see only a couple of blocks away, too - like Lower Barrakka Gardens and the waterfront.
The apartment is located on a relatively quiet street and not frequented by tourists at all. It's a very cozy place! The downstairs area is small, with a couch and dinning table that is part of the same room as the kitchen and washing/dryer machines. It's a simple layout but perfect for a couple and VERY comfortable.
We stayed at another AirBnB location and, a hotel for one night as we move around a bit during our tour of Malta and Gozo. By far, Chiara's place was the best. I highly recommend her place and she's a fabulous host. It's clear she cares about the experience of guests.
Thank you, Chiara!
