The residence was as described, a unique place from which to enjoy Valletta and nearby areas. The steps were easy for me negotiate, although I was careful not to wear socks while on the stairs. Since it was rainy and humid, I used the AC. Christine picked me up at the airport and oriented me to the residence. She effected a seamless transition. Mark and Christine were easily available and quick to reply regarding questions I had. Great experience and only wish I could have stayed longer.
