The apartment was clean, near to the centre of Valletta, but in a quiet street (very important, because almost all houses are not soundproofed and you can hear everything that is going on on the street or the other apartments-We were just unlucky, because during our stay there was roadwork being done and it was noisy, although this is not typical. Sheldon did warn us ahead of time and gave us the choice to cancel). Sheldon was a great host, eager to help and provide helpful tips. I would recommend it!!
