Marquita's apartment is quite large (suitable for a family) with a nice well equipped kitchen. The location is in residential neighborhood away from the bustle of beach areas. Best public transit to Valletta or Mdina is from the Spinola bus stop which is a 10-12 minute walk - take the 13TD or 14TD to get to Valletta in half the time of the milk run line - 13, 13A, 14 and 16. For those with a car it appears that street parking is available. Check-in, check-out was easy and Marquita arranged taxi rides in both directions and her husband assisted with one issue during my stay. Note however, that the insect issue mentioned in previous reviews continues.
