I was just looking for a nice spot to stay two nights not too far off the old town (easy to walk, 25 minutes or bus, 7 minutes) of Valletta, but actually I liked the neighborhood even better than the old town. Sure it's not as picturesque by any means, but very authentic. The house itself was very nice, John was extremity friendly (without overdoing it) and the room was far bigger than expected. Really had a wonderful time in hamrun and will totally book again if I am going to visit Malta again :)
