Anatole's flat is on the first floor, accessed by a steep staircase up from the street. It is one large room about 9 x 4 metres with the bed at one end and the balcony overlooking St Angelo at the other. The bathroom, near the balcony is tiny but has a shower, toilet and sink. It is accessed through a curtain, so is not very private. The kitchen is opposite the bathroom and has a cooker, kettle and washing machine. We only ate breakfast when we were in the flat, and that was fine as we sat at the table admiring the view.
The great thing about the flat is its location, just down from Upper Barrakka Gardens. It's easy to get into town, to the bus station, down to the Three Cities Ferry and the Valletta waterfront. It is literally on top of the Lascaris war rooms, one of the best attractions we went to.
Anatole picked us up from the airport and that was great as he gave us useful advice and made us welcome. He gave us practical, useful advice e.g to buy a weekly bus pass, which we did. His Mum gave us a lift back.
