The apartment is in a perfect location with easy access to restaurants, the tourist sites in Valletta, a bakery and a small grocery store. All the necessary appliances are available including a well functioning washing machine. We did not meet Andre but his mother and sister checked us in. And we appreciated the flexibility to leave our luggage at the apartment later on our departure day. One note, the building's plumbing has had a long life and as indicated in the house rules, you are not allowed to flush toilet paper.
