I’ll get the cons out of the way and then do the pros:
Cons:
1.There was some paint chipping off the walls onto the stairs and throughout the bedroom
2. Amenities were a bit meager. No soap or shampoo was provided and I wasn’t prepared for that as it was in all my other AirBnB stays. Also there was just a tiny bit of laundry detergent.
3. The doors separating my unit from the neighboring unit were a little thin and you hear a lot of what your neighbors are doing.
Pros:
1. Check in was easy and convenient. There’s a key box.
2. The street is one of the cutest in Valletta. Online maps do not do it justice.
3. The overall location is great. While this street stays quiet, you only have to walk a few blocks for restaurants, bars and festivals.
4. If you rent a car, there’s a big parking lot just a block away. You also have easy access to the sea and a nice walking path that traces the harbor.
5. There’s a pretty well stocked corner grocery store just two blocks away that will take care of most of your needs for food and hygiene.
6. For those not familiar with Valletta, you can easily access the entirety of the city from here and all the great sites.
7. I went in late September, but for those traveling in the summer, you should be comfortable as the apartment does not face direct sunlight, the downstairs has a strong ceiling fan and upstairs has a good AC unit which easily cools the whole place in minutes.
8. The hosts were easy to communicate with leading up to my stay and while I didn’t have any issues during my stay for me to need to contact them, I’m sure if I did they would have been readily available.
Overall I would highly recommend. The only cons were some minor inconveniences. This is a great location to explore Valletta and with the parking lot it’s a great starting point to explore the whole island from as well.
