Kurt's place is excellent, and very conveniently located- just 10 minutes by bus to Valletta and also within easy reach of the Sliema to Valletta ferry terminal There are numerous small shops, cafes and bars in the neighbourhood and the main shopping area of the district is within a 20 minute walk. There was some building work going on at the time of my visit but it was not a big problem. All in all, a fantastic stay.
