The apartment is charming, with good amenities, and located in central Valletta. Whilst all of the attractions of Valletta are in walking distance the immediate vicinity of the apartment is a little run-down with some properties appearing to be empty or under-development. During the day there is some street noise as the apartment is on the ground floor. But this should be expected in such a busy and bustling city. The evenings were surprisingly quiet and sleeping was no issue. Co-host Brian welcomed us and was very helpful and professional. He also allowed us to have the air conditioning at no extra cost which was very much appreciated in the August heat. Overall a pleasant stay and great value.
