Helene’s flat is lovely. The location is great and the roof top terrace is absolutely amazing. It is a private roof top terrace just above the actual flat (you have to go out of the flat and one flight of stairs up). The views from the terrace are brilliant and you get the sun all day. The location is great. There are a few restaurants along the harbour only a 5 minute walk away. It is very easy to get to Valetta either by bus (30minutes) or by boat. There is the three cities ferry you can catch or a little fishermen’s boat for only 2€ per person which we can highly recommend. Getting to Valetta by boat is only 10minutes and much more fun than the bus. We were lucky as the Birgu festival was happening on the weekend we stayed. Birgu is only a 15minute walk from the flat and they switch off the street lights and have candles everywhere on the Saturday. There is a lot of live music, street food, good wine and a great atmosphere.
The flat itself is clean and has everything you need. Please note there is no lift to get to the apartment and you have to tackle quite a few steps. It’s however definitely worth it.
There is a very big church next to the flat which is lovely to look at from the roof top however please note that the church bells go off very early in the morning for a few times.
Helene was great in terms of communication. She gave us all instructions beforehand and was very quick in responding.
We can highly recommend to stay in Helene’s flat.
Is definitely worth to go for a wander in Valetta. It’s a beautiful city.
