This is a well equipped sizable apartment in the center of Valletta. The kitchen is suitable for preparing light meals. All of the windows have double glazed glass. The apartment is within easy walking distance of many of the major attractions of Valletta. As stated in the description of the apartment, there are outdoor restaurants located on the street below the apartment. However, with the windows and doors closed the living room was perfectly fine for conversation. The restaurants were always quiet by midnight. However, a nearby bar did play loud music nearly every evening until about 2am. Except for that one issue I can highly recommend this apartment. Alison, arranged for our transportation from the airport. In fact we used this cab service several times to get around the island. Alison was very quick to respond to questions and I can highly recommend her as a host.
