Pam's place was excellent and even better than the pictures. The view of Valletta from the balcony was to die for. The apartment is a quick walk away from the ferry, and close to restaurants in Sliema if you don't want to cross the harbor (I would recommend Ta'Kris). Everything in it is new and very nicely updated.
We arranged a four hour tour with the driver, Paul, who was excellent. He took us around the island and showed us the highlights, including Mdina, Dingli Cliffs, and Marsaxxlok. He let us get out and walk around instead of just driving past the sights. He also took care of our airport transfers. Very friendly and convenient!
Pam was in touch with us the whole time, and left us a lot of information in a welcome packet in the apartment.
All in all, couldn't have been better!
