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.
