Franco's apartment is in an old building is nicely renovated and has kept its old character with original tiled floors and high ceilings with wooden beams. It is spacious, clean, and has large comfortable beds. Since it is on the ground floor, it is a bit dark. However, it has its own private courtyard where you can sit outside. There is plenty of hot water for showers. Franco arranged for us to be picked up at the airport at a very reasonable price. There was water and a bottle of wine in the fridge. Also basics such as coffee/tea. The apartment is situated in a quiet area, a close to the Sliema ferry and right across the street from a little grocery store. It is also only a few minutes walk to the main street with many shops and restaurants. It was easy to communicate with Franco! I highly recommend a visit to Valetta and staying at Franco's apartment!!
