The apartment is high above the waterfront so it does mean quite a lot of walking up and down hills! However, the location is very convenient for a lot of the sites, and it was a joy to take the ferry over to Valletta most days from where we then caught buses to other parts of Malta.
Jason, our host was very accommodating and made periodic suggestions of places to visit. The apartment was spotless, the bed very comfy and it is a very quiet location. We had a couple of good meals at Sottovento and would also recommend Le Poisson fish takeaway!
