Maria's apartment was perfect for our 11 night stay in Malta. The quaint little place was comfortable, suitable for our needs and a perfect base for exploring. It's only a short walk to pretty much anywhere in Valletta. In just a few minutes you can be by the sea, catching a ferry, enjoying a coffee in a local cafe, dinner in one of the friendly restaurants or at the bus station to catch a bus to virtually anywhere in Malta for just one and a half Euros! (I think it is slightly more in summer). There is so much to see and do in this historic city. The surrounding streets are beautiful and have so much character as does Maria's apartment. Checking in and out was a breeze (thank goodness for the lift!) and the bottle of wine to welcome us was a nice touch. Thanks Maria!
