The apartment is in a perfect location for exploring Valletta. Plenty of restaurants and bars just around the corner, and there are a few mini markets in close proximity. We had heard that Valletta shuts down after dark and on Sundays, but that's just not true - we found plenty of places open, even on a Sunday.
Maria was a superb host and provided very quick and helpful responses. We really appreciated the effort she made to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
The bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable. Although the apartment can comfortably sleep 7 people, there is only one toilet/bathroom and a very small kitchenette, so this could be difficult for a large group of adults. It is perfect for one or two couples though, or a family with kids. The spiral staircase could be difficult to navigate for people with reduced mobility, and going to the bathroom in the middle of the night can be a challenge! The living space is small but very nicely decorated.
Yes, the church bells are loud, but use that as your alarm clock (7:45am) to get up and get out and explore the stunning city of Valletta.
Thank you Maria (and Rita and Sabrina) for a really wonderful stay, and we hope to return one day.
