Andre was super flexible and accommodating. We arrived in Valletta a little earlier than expected and he kept us informed on when the apartment would be ready and even explained once we arrived that the towels were still in the dryer, so it was very nice of him to allow us to check in early.

The apartment is lovely - I felt very at home and grew very attached to it. It's essentially two rooms, one large open plan living / dining / kitchen with a massive ceiling. Nice and bright with all new appliances and furniture, a lovely little built-in balcony (typical of the Maltese style) with a view down the street (the apartment is up about 3 flights of tiled stairs, which may be challenging for some). The other room is split into a bedroom and hallway leading to the bathroom, with a dividing wall that doesn't quite meet the ceiling (about a foot off) It has the look of an art gallery about it. The design of this means there is a bit of noise from the bathroom to the bedroom, and given the whole apartment is tiled, can be quite startling in the middle of the night, but I guess that speaks to how quiet the apartment is, despite the bedroom window opening out into the internal apartment stairwell (I think there is only 4 apartments anyway, and they were very quiet).

The air-conditioning in the bedroom was bliss on a hot day and worked super fast and kept the bedroom / hall cool even after switching it off. The bed was firm but comfortable and pillows and linen new.

The shower was delightful and bathroom very new.

The wifi was patchy in the bedroom, but I wasn't using it much so couldn't comment much more.

The location was ideal. Valletta is tiny anyway, but the apartment is close enough to restaurants / bars / bus stops / the ferry and far away enough not to be too noisy. My recommendations are Il Kapitali on Old Bakery Street for a great breakfast, StrEat Whiskey & Bistro was delicious for dinner as was Pasthaus and all within a one minute walk!

We struggled finding supermarkets, but this might have had something to do with being there on the weekend.

All in all, Valletta and this apartment will steal your heart.
