Two flights up to a very roomy and comfortable apartment. Small lift available but not really needed. A south facing balcony with small table and 2 chairs that was perfect for a book and a drink. Place was warm enough to only use heating very infrequently. Nice extras like filtered water available on tap. Beds were large and firm. Extra quilt type blankets available. Reasonable water pressure and hot water for showers/tub. Kitchen well outfitted .
General FYI in case you care.
First week (Mdina, Valletta, Marsaxlokk, Gozo, Etc.) touristy places during winter rains, made for no crowds in general and by acquiring weekly bus passes, which paid for themselves very quickly, it was easy to use buses to hop on/off at a whim. Yes buses get very crowded at times. Second week revisited sites of interest and some further afield like Marsaskala, which impressed me as a place to reside long term. Spent a lot of time in Valletta on my last three days during Carnival.
