As three best friends embarking on our first holiday as a group, we thoroughly enjoyed spending time in Malta whilst staying at the Townhouse. A lovely old building wth Valletta character, although still had most modern amenities and equipment needed to make the stay comfortable.
The Townhouse:
Getting to the townhouse was met with relative ease via taxi (Recommended by Andre) from the airport.
Both bedrooms (one on ground floor and a spacious upstairs bedroom) were comfortable and had everything needed. Aircon in both bedrooms worked efficiently with no issues the entire stay.
The bathroom on the ground floor was particularly nice with a walk in shower and modern sink with plenty of storage.
The kitchen was modern and well equipped.
The terrace/rooftop area was very enjoyable. The climb to the terrace is long and hard work; peddling up a 60+ winding staircase each time, but was definitely worth it. With full decking, a table, chairs and a sun lounger, it was regularly used as a beautiful common space for us to read talk and watch the sunset.
All sockets in the building were UK plug sockets, except the hairdryer available which is two pronged.
The only issue we had with the facilities was that the plug socket in the upstairs bedroom beside the bedside table did not work whilst trying to charge a phone.
Location:
There were no single big supermarket but loads of independent and small food stores or local businesses around the area. There was the Food Market that was bigger than the little local shops, but didn't have the huge range of a supermarket!
The building is situated in a prime location within Valletta, close to everything you could possibly want to do.
A few minutes walk to the harbour (and thus Sliema ferry) and a few more in the opposite direction towards the market streets and Triton fountain.
The Host:
From the beginning the host met us with welcoming smiles and useful information.
Additionally, the host provided a guide available at the townhouse which was most useful. In this the host details not only all the useful instructions on all the facilities and amenities within the house, but also gave detailed recommendations and tips about what to do, where to eat, and how to get to most places. This was really helpful and we appreciated it greatly.
Throughout our stay, the host was incredibly responsive to any queries and was most understanding and approachable during the whole experience.
We recommend this Airbnb to anyone wanting to stay in Valletta and experience the city as well as Malta in general.
