We stayed in Paul’s place for 8 days. Half using public transport and half with a hire car. We used Paul’s offer of transport to get to the apartment which made it so easy. Driver waiting in the terminal, direct to the door and straight into the apartment for early seamless checkin. You have to pay in cash for the extras - early checkin, weekend checkin etc but this is all clear and not unreasonable.
The apartment is perfectly situated in Valletta. It is 10mins from the bus station and minutes from Republic street, while being off a couple of streets so away from the noisy bars. We loved how easy it was to get anywhere in Valletta but also so easy to get to the bus terminal, both ferries (Silema and 3 cities) and then to our hire car which we parked in the free public car parks next to the bus terminal.
The photos capture the apartment perfectly. It is on the 2nd floor of an old building and had a lift so no carrying cases up stairs.
We got 200units of electricity for our stay. It was bit strange monitoring our use but given energy costs and climate change it was refreshing to see effects of AC use. The flat has 3 units downstairs and 1 in each bedroom upstairs. They cool the flat down rapidly and have a timer option which helps. We used 56 units using the washing machine once as well. It was about 40 Celsius outside so as long as you don’t leave AC on all the time you should be good.
Shower is hot and powerful. Kitchen has everything you need. The only thing that needs upgrading is the mattresses as they are hard and uncomfortable. A couple of new ones or toppers to soften would make this place perfect
