We rented this apartment for 6 nights, over the week between Christmas and New Year's. The location, in the center of Victoria, is fantastic. Even though in the middle of a pedestrian square, free public parking is only a 5 minute walk. This was important for us as we had a rental car. The apartment sleeps 4, with a double bed and fold-out futon. The apartment is 2 stories, with the bedroom on the 3rd floor of the building, and the kitchen and adjacent roof terrace are 1 floor up. The kitchen is well-stocked (with kitchen tools), and there are local food markets and green grocers only minutes away. We made use of that for dinner "at home" 2 out of the 6 nights, though the apartment is a short walk to many good dining options in Victoria. Ted the landlord is extremely attentive and helpful, and very easy to be in contact with. Also, the location of Victoria on the island of Gozo, almost dead center, means everything to see and do on the island is less than a 30 minute drive. There are also 2 Hop On-Hop Off bus companies, plenty of taxis and public buses, if you choose to go without a rental car.

Unfortunately, it just so happened we were there in what was Malta's worst weather in almost 100 years, so we were unable to utilize the rooftop terrace as much as we would have liked!

The single caveat is that the only way upstairs is via a narrow spiral staircase, which is a challenge with luggage. However, Ted is more than happy help with moving bags up and down the stairs, and the view from up top is quite nice, and worth the climb for sure.

We would definitely stay here again, but maybe a different time of year, such as spring or autumn!
