Thanks for your kind words Maureen. Sorry to hear the weather turned a bit atrocious during your stay - Malta does get the occasional stormy day during winter but this was a bad one.
The caretaker manager met us and was very helpful. The flat was very spacious and beautifully furnished & dressed. It has fantastic views of Grand Harbour and is close to the Barraka lift which allows easier access to central Valletta. Also close to Gozo ferry.

Glad you all enjoyed yourselves, Alan. Yes, our caretaker is very kind and helpful - worth her weight in gold!
Thanks for your kind words about the apartment.
The apartment has a wonderful view of the Grand Harbour. It was wonderful to see all the cruise ships passing by so close you could wave to the passengers.From the roof terrace you could listen to the music from the saluting battery at 12 and 4pm.The apartment was spacious and very tastefully decorated and furnished. The kitchen is functional but would benefit from a microwave for longer stays. A good washing machine was very usefulThere were problems with the heating not working in the bedrooms but two free standing heaters were provided..The location of the property is convenient for the Barraca lift and also the atmospheric eating venues on the steps, if one is fit enough!

Hi Rosemary,
Oh, yes! I love sitting on the balcony watching all the boats go by too. Definitely one of the joys of a harbour-front apartment.
We had a fantastic stay here once again, this is the third time we have stayed at Debra's place and it is always very easy to check in, communication is excellent, the place is very clean and comfortable, and in a great location for going out in Valletta.

Thank you, Rachel. I'm glad you enjoyed staying with us
This apartment exceeded expectations!! Amazing location right on the harbour just a few minutes walk from the gozo ferry and the centre of Valletta. Great size. We were a family of 5 adults but were very comfortable. Everything you needed was supplied and the host and caretaker looked after us and for a reasonable fee supplying food on arrival and organizing transport from the airport which was amazing. We were all so happy with our stay!

Thanks Denise, it's lovely to hear your stay in our apartment was so happy.
Comfortable beds and quiet! A delightfully large apartment with view over the harbour and small sunny balcony The brilliant Baraka lift very closeby for access to centre of Valletta or steps (but quite a few!). Ferries to Gozo and the Three Cities close by too.Taxi from (and back to) airport arranged by host Sandra worked a treat. No hesitation in fully recommending the flat.

Thanks Jan for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us in Valletta
We have just spent 3 nights here and wow - what a property! Our host arranged the taxi transfers for us and Sandra, the caretaker was waiting for us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. We arranged with Sandra for some food for our arrival - milk, bread, cheese, tea/coffee etc. Property was very spacious, clean, good air-con, on a quiet road right near Victoria Gate. Only a few minutes walk to centre of Valleta. Lovely terrace to enjoy a drink on, and also access to a large roof terrace. The views are amazing and we would 100% recommend a stay in this apartment.

Thanks for that glowing review. We try our best! So glad you enjoyed staying with us.
The location is very near to the centrum of Valletta, it was clean and confortable, and Sandra has been very nice to welcom us in the house.We thank you
We loved Malta and everything the area offered. The location of the property was excellent with easy access to the Three Cities and the ferry to Gozo as well as the fabulous Old Town. We certainly got our "steps" in!

Thanks for your kind words Jane. Yes, some of the nearby stepped streets - although utterly charming - can be a bit tough on the ol' legs! But you can always use the Barrakka Lift around the corner- takes you straight up into Barrakka Gardens with no steps to climb at all. Glad you loved Malta and had a good time.
The pictures do not do this place justice ! Great place.

Thanks Carole.
Yes, you're right - my photography skills are not really up to showing the apartment in its best light. Glad you had a good time during your stay.
The stay was great, once we got in!There was some miscommunication about what time we could arrive at the property, which caused a lot of angst because we had booked a full day tour based on what we had thought we had heard about the possibility of leaving our luggage early. After about an hour and some frantic texting, we got in, and it all worked out in the end! Very cute place and great location! Would definitely stay there again!!

Hi Marilyn,
Sorry about the confusion on your first morning. It was my fault, not our caretaker Sandra's, as I miscalculated how long it would take to disembark your cruise ship at 8am (I thought it would take longer than it did, obviously.) Glad everything was ok once Sandra arrived to let you in. Thanks for your kind comments about the apartment, and hopefully your arrival will be much smoother if you come back to stay with us a second time!
The view from the balcony over looking the harbour is just stunning. 5 minute walk to the bars and restaurants and right in the middle for all the attractions. Very spacious and clean. Plus lovely people to deal with.

Oh, thank you Steve, that's very kind. We do our best to give a good service and make our guests welcome and comfortable. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. 'Tis a great view, yes, particularly at night with all the Three Cities across the harbour lit up.
In a quiet area, but just a short walk to all the action in town. Overlooks the Grand Harbor. Close to ferries to three cities and Gozo. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars was because the layout is a little choppy . The living room is small.

Hi Roseanne,
Thanks for your feedback. Did you mean the separate TV room is small, or the sitting room by the balcony is small? I suppose it is a bit odd to have two living rooms instead of using one of them as an extra bedroom, but the benefit, we feel, is trading more space for people to enjoy against bumping up the number of people we can accommodate at one time.
A fantastic flat which is very conveniently located. Fantastic communication from the host and a very easy check in process. Overall a fantastic experience.
