The view is fantastic (especially if you like boats). The host was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended. The ferry to Valetta Waterfront is about 200m away. Traditional luzzu boats go directly from the apartment for 2€. The bus #2 is 200m away. bus #3 about 300m. Both busses go to Valetta main bus station. The coffee and the ice cream in the basement is amazing. Mini markets, drug store and restaurants are nearby at the Birgu central square. Try traditional pastizzi and ftira in any small shop - it's cheap and tasty.
