Alfred's apartment is very comfortable and quiet. Birgu is an area of great historical interest ' far from the madding crowd' . Take the ferry from senglea, about a 10 to 15 mins walk, one way so you get the free lift pass at valletta and we recommend getting the gondola type craft back to birgu for €2 per person. It's charming and a faster way home as the gondolier drops you within 5 mins of alfie's place. The second bedroom was a bonus for a couple for storage and unpacking of baggage. The osteria restaurant some 150m away was thoroughly delightful ( closed Tuesdays) but you must book early for Friday to Sunday. Alfie will surely give you directions! We recommend the apartment for its quaintness and time warp appeal.
