Our experience with VV Retro Pad was certainly enjoyable. Anna came to visit us upon our arrival and provided guidance about the apartment as well as the neighbourhood. The apartment looked exactly like in the pictures and tastefully decorated with carefully selected furniture and items. The old Maltese style balcony provides excellent opportunity to sit down with a cup of tea/coffee and relax enjoying the life on the street. It was perfect for a romantic getaway at the heart of Valletta on a sweet old street, within walking distance to all of Valletta's attractions as well as the harbour where ferries depart to the lively Sliema. The street where the apartment is located is a one where mostly local people reside, therefore we were able to get into the swing of local life without being surrounded by many tourists. Water and soft drinks in the fridge as well as tea and coffee facilities provided were soft touches and most welcome. The booklet provided by Anna gave us good alternatives for places to eat & drink within Valletta. We even tried some of the restaurants and bars recommended and were not disappointed. If I come to Malta again, I would definitely like to stay in this apartment.
