Maria made us feel very welcome and we very much enjoyed our stay in the apartment. The location is very central within the old town so ideal for visiting the sights in and around Valletta as well as being within a few minutes walk of many restaurants and cafes, and close to the ferry terminal to Sliema. The apartment was very clean and attractively furnished. It was also nice and cool, which was essential in July when it was very hot outside for much of the day and we needed somewhere to retreat to. There is air conditioning in every room, although we didn't need it most of the time because the building is naturally cool. I would have no hesitation in recommending this for anyone wanting to stay in Valletta!
