I stayed four nights with my niece at Francesca's place. We had all the space we could ask for - and a big bed for each of us in the same room. The basement is well designed and we had everything we needed. Furthermore Francesca was really helpful, gave us lots of recommendations and helped us organize a taxi for getting to the airport. Since it's a basement there is - of course - no balcony as many of the hotel rooms you can find elsewhere in Malta. But we didn't go to Malta to sit in our room, and right outside the door there is a beautiful view of the Three Cities on the other side of the harbour. We were really happy to stay in beautiful, authentic Valetta and not in touristic Sliema.
