Franco was an attentive and responsive host. Easy and reliable communication before and during our stay made us comfortable doing business with him. The apartment was as advertised and presented in the photos. Wonderful views from the giant patio overlooking this little corner of the marina and this part of the city. The apartment was large, clean and comfortable, if a little worn. It fit our family of five perfectly for our visit. The neighborhood offers very easy public transport with very close bus stops on the street in front of building. We rode the bus cheaply and conveniently to anywhere on the island we wanted to go. Also easy and pleasant walking distance to small grocery markets, as well as various restaurants, cafes and bars. For a longer (~20 mins) but equally pleasant stroll you can get into old town Valletta or even Sliema waterfront or Manoel Island. We rate the overall experience a solid 4 stars and will strongly consider staying here again if we are lucky enough to return to this wonderful island nation.
