Without a doubt, the fantastic view of the water and amazing buildings of Malta was the finest benefit of the apartment.

It was quite warm the period we were there (90 Fahrenheit (32 Celsius) during a couple of the days), and while it cooled some in the evenings it's not what we're accustomed to in the Portland, OR area we're from, but with the fans it worked for us. We certainly saw apartments with air-conditioning units, but it appeared many in this more native area of Malta did not have air-conditioning. (Electricity is quite expensive in Malta, so we understand the reasoning behind limited air-conditioning.)

There was plenty of parking for our rental car, and it was quite easy to get to Valletta either driving or by ferry, and we also made use of the bus travel that was available only a couple of blocks from the apartment--and it was a good experience being in more the the true residential part of Malta rather than the more tourist oriented areas of Valletta and Sliema for example.

Windows needed to be open because of the heat, and there was definitely noise from the outdoor restaurants below, and kids were actively playing until midnight or so, but again, it worked for us and was simply part of the neighborhood experience but it's good to be aware of it if you're expecting a quite quiet residential area.

Overall we enjoyed the stay, and the water view compensated for any other concerns.
