Franco is very efficient and helpful -- he dealt with all my questions immediately, provided helpful advise, was very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet him, but his mother-in-law met us at the apartment when we arrived and showed us how to use everything. The flat itself is in a perfect location, on a lovely street, in an old building at the top end of old Valletta, 5min walk to the city gates and the bus stops. It has a gorgeous view from the balcony. The flat has two large rooms, as in the photographs, with very high ceilings. It is airy and recently decorated but quite sparsely and simply furnished. The decoration could be done with more charm. The floor, however, is beautiful Maltese tiles. The internet is fast and reliable. We visited in early March and there was some damp in the flat, but this seems to be a problem of all old Maltese flats judging by reviews and I could see that this one gets frequently decorated and generally kept in good shape. The main bed was very comfortable. If there are more than two of you, however, I would not recommend sleeping on the sofa for more than a couple of nights -- it has a bit of a ridge which is not very comfortable to sleep on. It was alas too cold to use the roof terrace, but the view from there is quite magic. Valletta is stunningly beautiful, but a bit later in the season might be a better time to visit as it's was very empty and quiet in the evenings.
