Maria's apartment was beautiful - exactly how it looks in the pictures. Maria's friend Rita met us with the keys and was incredibly welcoming and helpful, even though we were 2 hours early for check in.

Maria had left out water, a bottle of wine and also a birthday cake and candles as the trip was for my boyfriend's birthday - it was such a lovely touch and made our weekend even more special.

The location of the apartment is perfect, right in the centre of Valletta just 5 minutes from the buses and 2 minutes from all the best restaurants. having said that the road is very quiet - you wouldn't realise quite how central you are!

Valletta is the perfect place to stay if you want to explore Malta's history and culture. There are so many great places to eat and drink and from there you can get buses to the entire island or a short ferry ride across to the more touristy town of Sliema.

Couldn't recommend this apartment and the hosts hospitality more highly!
