Really great stay over Christmas, four nights, me and my Mom.
++PLUSES: Breathtaking view from the terrace. No rain. About 15 degrees in Jan. Joseph was kind enough to get us an Xmas tree when I asked - made it a really magical Christmas day! Layout of the apartment is really nice. Everything you need. Modern with great design features. Location is very close to the main streets of Valetta or the bus station. Both beds are very comfortable. Water and shower were good. TV big with excellent sound. --MINUSES: we had real problems adjusting the heat/air con in the bigger bedroom - maybe it was a battery issue Keys/doors were tricky - make sure you get training before they leave you with the keys. Lots of stairs, including outside to the street - fine for me, but harder for my 74 year old Mom. We paid an extra 50E to secure a late check out of 630PM (not unreasonable since he said he might try to rent it out for a party) .........Overall it was a great Xmas at the Penthaus and sitting on the terrace with wine/coffee, watching the boats and castles was something we'll never forget. Didn't meet Joseph, as I think it's one of several properties he rents. But he was helpful and friendly by phone and message, and sent a handyman when we couldn't work the heat and keys. Loved this place!
