If you want a super clean and spacious apartment away from the touristy spots this is the place.
The apartment is close to the main centre of Rabat with plenty of cafes/restaurants. A couple of minutes drive to Mdina (beautiful on a nighttime). 10 minutes to the beautiful beaches to the west and the BOV adventure park (perfect for kids). 20 minutes from the airport and Valletta. Rabat is not full of postcards and souvenirs but lots of history, friendly locals and has the right amount of facilities available for your stay.
Helen is such a helpful and friendly hostess. We arrived very late and she had provided a few bits for breakfast. She also made sure we knew about the local festival - which was unexpectedly awe inspiring, a lifetime experience I will cherish. She was happy to provide all the extras we asked for.
The only downside was that the rooftop wasn't 100% useable - a work in progress and the reason why so little is mentioned on the listing. Has a wonderful view and we had some seats but harder to access.
We visit Malta regularly and will be back here again for sure because we loved Rabat and really enjoyed Helen's place.
