Valletta - living the city like a local

This is only our second time in Malta, we called in last year while on a cruise, and decided we wanted to base ourselves in Valletta when we came back. Dina provided all our check-in info prior to arrival, and was helpful during our phone call before we travelled, so no problems with finding the place or gaining access …. we booked a taxi once landed at airport, and dropped us off at the door. The apartment is in a fantastic location, and kitted out with everything we needed for our stay. We loved the layout, and although the bathroom was small, it was fine for the week. The living room is a good size, the bedroom is huge, both with air-con ….. the kitchen facilities are fine, but we ate out for the duration of our stay ….. there’s a good size fridge freezer for keeping pre-drinks cool ;-) The apartment is less than a 2 minute walk to the Marsamxett Harbour, the Grand Harbour is 5-10 minutes the other way, and amazing views from both …… we would recommend booking a harbour ferry tour to see all the sights. The ferry to Sliema is only 5 minutes walk, and a great way to get to the other side of the harbour. It’s only 10 minutes walk to the fast ferry terminal if you want to travel to Gozo. A 10 minute walk will get you into the centre, with loads of excellent restaurants and bars, several with live music. There’s a real buzz to this place, and would be difficult not to love it (and the local beers). There’s plenty of steps and hills up/down, like the streets of San Francisco, so a great way to get fit. The bus terminal is close (near the Triton fountain) if you want to tour around, at only €2 per person winter rate, €2.50 summer rate from mid-June (ticket lasts for 2 hours) ….. taxi’s are also great using the Bolt app, and well priced.

there’s nothing we didn’t like

The location of the apartment was great. We were able to watch sunsets over the harbor from descending stairs from our dead-end street. The apartment was nice and clean and well equipped with all the equipment and supplies that we needed. We would certainly stay here again. The bedding was truly comfortable.

We had a little trouble with the key safe because the code was not sent to us in a timely manner. Watch the stairs that are to and from the bedroom.
