We had a relaxing time in great weather and spent the majority of our time in the apartment on the balcony as others have said. The flat suited our needs and was nicely decorated. The area does have many steps but if you pace yourself it’s fine. The ferries and the bus services are easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. Thanks Daniel and Silvana for meeting us.

Great 2 bed apartment in quiet local and friendly neighbourhood. Apartment well equipped. Small back balcony with washing facilities. Front terrace with large table and quality sun loungers with the best view over the harbour to Valletta and Birgu. Large shower with constant hot water. Air conditioning in the apartment although the unit in the spare room broken when we visited. Fan available. No car needed, public transport near by and easy to get around. Public ferry to Valletta from Birgu (20 mins walk) €2 each way or within a weekly public transport ticket you can purchase. Preferred using local Luzzu wooden boats…same price, run by local families, beautifully maintained, felt like we were investing more in the local economy. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and local ‘corner’ grocer shops where you could buy fresh produce, essentials, soya milk(!), in fact vegan and vegetarian diets well catered for. Used a taxi to get from airport to the apartment. Taxi booking office in the airport terminal, no booking ahead needed. You can also book and pay for a return trip at the same time which all worked out perfectly. Pay upfront and just confirm time and location the day before you return. €20 each way. Good contact and driver on time. If using a taxi, drop off and pick up at St Phillip’s Church in Sanglea, and then just walk down a short set of steps to the door of the apartment. Travel light. Streets are hilly and lots of steps. English spoken everywhere.

We loved staying in this flat. The views from inside and from the balcony made this such an exciting vacation spot as you can watch all the harbour activity, have great views of the cannon firings and fireworks, and enjoy the picturesque views of Valletta. The apartment itself was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the artwork on the walls. Everything was perfect and as described.

A really lovely apartment with great views across the harbour. Very comfortable too! We really enjoyed sitting out on the terrace (electric awnings provide shade if needed). Easy to get into Valletta with either the ferry or Uber etc. A great place overall. Many thanks to Daniel, and his father who met us on arrival.

This is the second time for us as that view is to die for. Constantly fascinated with the boats coming and going. Love all the activity. The flat is comfortable and in a great quiet area. Minutes to the seafront and plenty of restaurants etc to choose from. We will probably make it a third time when I accumulate more holiday!

Fantastic location, the views were outstanding, very quiet, transport was very good once you worked it out, first class.

First time in Malta. A one month winter holiday. This spot was exactly what we two Canadian seniors hoped for. A genuine neighbourhood, close to bus and ferry, very comfortable space for us to feel like locals for our month. The terrace and view were superb. We love ships and there was always activity to see in the Grand Harbour. Daniel was quick to answer and address any questions. His Dad, Joseph, met us in the church square and guided us to the apt and showed us all that we needed to know. Bed was comfortable as was the sofa and chair. Used the washer and drying rack. Nearby confectionery shops had nearly everything you could want with 2 butchers, a pharmacy, and hardware store close by. We ate on the Senglea and Birgu waterfronts a few times. For us, a 15 minute walk to ferry to Valletta and an 8 minute walk to the bus. Bolt taxi would let us off in the church square, about 45 stairs away from the apt. After busy days touring and visiting it was conforting coming home to the peaceful apt. As previously written, yes, there are stairs everywhere, we learned the routes with the least. The apt is on the 4th floor, a small elevator brings you (and 1 suitcase) to 3rd, then you climb one flight. Apt was bright and the back balcony with the washer was facing south for the maximum sun to dry the laundry. We loved Malta and the best part was this ideal spot. Thanks Daniel and Joseph.

This apartment more than satisfied our requirements. The view of the harbour was fantastic and it was easy to get to Valletta by the ferry. We will return but I will have to get fitter
