#9 at 44 Triq Amery was a perfect location for everything. The view from the terrace is spectacular to catch sunrises and sunsets. The unit itself is perfect for 3-4 people. There was never a shortage of hot water, and all the appliances worked perfectly. The unit is decorated in a contemporary style and is sleek in design. I would recommend this unit for it's location. For traditional Maltese food you just need to go downstairs to T'as Kolina or a couple of doors down for pizza and pasta. Across the street is a cafe for cappuccinos/croissants in the morning. If you are looking for a pool you can trying the Fortizza and rent a lounger/towel for 10 euros but if you are adventurous, toss your swim towel out on the rocks across the street, put on some swim shoes and try out the natural swimming pool. It was awesome! The bus stops across the street and for 1 euro 50 you can take the local bus to the Sliema Ferries or straight into Valletta. You can walk up the street to the Scott's grocery story for food and wine.
My girlfriends and an elderly Maltese lady accompanied me on this trip and we had no issues with the steps, although we would recommend a hand rail to get up and down to the elevator. Other than that, the unit is clean and maintained.
Thank you to Short Lets Malta for your hospitality. It was a terrific vacation and we would definitely return.
