The location for this apartment is terrific - a 10 minute walk to the historic centre of Valetta, yet overall very quiet (if you don't mind some lively discussions amongst neighbours!). The nearby botanic gardens (2 minutes) are a real bonus with fantastic views and nice walks (we didn't manage to get in to the garden part to visit, but suggest you try!). The apartment is small, and decorated in a tasteful and minimalist style. If you are the type of person who likes to do a bit of cooking while staying, you will find this a challenge as the kitchen equipment is minimal with no foodstuffs or condiments. Luckily, the excellent Tad Dulcier coffee shop/patisserie is a few steps away for terrific coffee and beautiful pastries (plus some other breakfast items). There are some other small businesses (mini mart, pastizzi shop, bars &c) nearby that we didn't use. Nice enclosed balcony in the Maltese style to sit in with your glass of local wine. But be careful of opening the windows at night - the local mosquitos like to bite!
