| "We struggled a bit for check-in (a misunderstanding on the time we were supposed to arrived), but finally managed to get the keys.
The property is nice, there is enough room for seven people and it is at a perfect location, (on to Grand Harbour), which may be sometimes a bit noisy."

Really helpful when we managed to fuse the lights Sandra got the chap in the flat upstairs to pop down and we were sorted within 5 minutes of our phone call. Loved the feeling that we were staying in a neighbourhood and yet close to everything."

Comment: A particularly well equipped apartment with a stunning view and within walking distance of everything. We really loved our week in your apartment especially as the weather was sunny but unseasonably cold and we felt so smug listening to other people complaining of their cold hotels when we were as warm as toast. I understand you are having the already comfortable apartment further improved after our departure. A brighter reading light for those of us with older eyes would have completed the picture. Many thanks to Sandra, George and the handyman...we would fuse the lights!!!

"The location was great,close to town centre and fabulous views. Appartment space was good and we were looked after by caretaker. I think kitchen equipment could be improved, for instance more mugs and cooking utensils. Also sheets etc need replacing. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, washing up and looking at that view takes some beating!"
Owner reply:

Hi Jane,
Glad you enjoyed your stay, and the view is great, isnt it? Sandra the caretaker bought some new pillows for you when you said you preferred them softer. We always try to meet our guests needs as soon as were made aware of them - Sandra told me she wished youd told her earlier in your stay. The sheets were new this year, but Ill buy some more - thanks for the feedback. And the mugs were apparently broken by the previous clients, so again thanks for letting us know - new mugs and utensils on the way!

Hi David and Linda,
Many thanks for your comments - I'm so glad you enjoyed your holiday with us. You left this note on our website so I copied it here but now I understand you've also sent this review through the villarenters system. So it will appear twice. Oh well, that should confuse everyone!

"i think it could be made clear about all the steps up to the city centre,just in case a wheelchair bound person were to book"
Owner reply:
:
Hi Andrew. Thanks for your comments. Yes, we do specify that the apartment is not really suitable for wheelchair access for precisely this reason, although there is a route into the city centre via the waterfront which doesn't have any steps. Valletta also now has very cheap (50c) electric taxis which do door-to-door pickups.

"We found this apartment spacious and clean and in a wonderful position near to historic buildings. It was a great base from which to explore much of Valetta but what made it for us were the fantastic panoramic views across the Harbour. What we would say is to be mindful that the apartment is in a residential area so you have to accept all that goes with that, eg. a constantly yapping dog and other residents in the building who come and go in the middle of the night. We accepted these with some humour however the one thing that did disappoint us was that it seems the roof terrace is a shared area and we found ourselves having to sunbathe among the other residents' washing hanging on the lines above us! With a neighbour who spent much of her time cleaning and doing housework on the roof, we did actually start to wonder whether we were supposed to be there at all. Other than that, it made for a delightful stay in Malta."
Owner reply:
:
Thanks Annie for your comments about the apartment - Yes, the view is quite something, isn't it? - and I am very sorry about the intrusions on the roof terrace. I'm not surprised you were upset by this. Please note that the roof terrace is NOT a shared area. Access to the roof is shared - by ourselves and one other apartment - but we each have our own separate areas of the roof. I'm sure you noticed the large creeping jasmine plant we have placed beside the 'lines'. Once it's grown, this is intended to create a vine-covered arbour area on the roof terrace to provide shade for our guests and somewhere where they can enjoy al-fresco meals (the garden dining table seats 4). It is definitely NOT meant to be somewhere our neighbour can hang her washing! Our caretaker has had a quiet word with the neighbour and we've bought her a rotary washing line to prevent any future incidents like this.

"Wonderful views, excellent location. Well equipped and spacious apartment. Good for larger groups/families. Web description was accurate, booking well managed. Pick up arrangements at the airport were flawless and caretaker very helpful in assisting with our onward journey. Probably the best value in Valletta for accommodation for 6 people (without crowding).
Cannot understand why the fold out bed is in the kitchen area instead of in the TV room (which then makes it 3 private bedrooms). We moved the couches ourselves (and put them back afterwards) but to me this is a no brainer (especially given that the hall light inexplicably doesn't turn off and so is shining in your eyes all night if you use the bed in it's present location!!!)."
Owner reply:
:
Thank you Susan for your kind comments - much appreciated. We're a bit confused about 'fold out bed is in the kitchen' as the sofabeds are in the sitting room adjacent to the balcony - the kitchen is a separate room through the archway. I'm sorry about the hall light. It's very odd why it's doing that - we are awaiting an electrician to come look at it and had removed the lightbulb for the time being. Did you call Sandra, our caretaker, when you put the lightbulb in and encountered this problem?

"Very good. A few minor problems, but nothing is perfect (moldy shower curtain, broken can opener, faulty lights). One thing we did not realize is that the town is far higher than the apartment, and there were a lot of stairs to climb to get to the activities in town. My mother is frail and had some difficulty, but we managed."
Owner reply:
:
Thanks for your comments Nancy. We do rely on our guests telling us when there's something that needs putting right and often people don't bother to mention things, so thank you. As you know, Sandra, our caretaker replaced the shower curtain for you immediately. The humidity in Malta sometimes gets very high in summer, which can create this problem. We can also be a victim of our own success: we were aware there was a problem with one of the lights in the hallway but it requires the attention of an electrician and it has been difficult to schedule this work between back-to-back bookings. But we're on to it! I'm sorry your mother had trouble coping with the steps into town. There are in fact two routes into the Old City: the 'quick' route directly up the stepped streets from where we are just outside the bastions, and a more leisurely 10-minute walk around the waterfront that doesn't have any steps. There are also the new City cabs, which are electric and very cheap (50c fare), that do a door-to-door service. I'm really sorry that you weren't made aware of these alternatives.

The property was clean and functional. Just what we needed for our (fabulous) stay on Malta.
Close to the Bridge Bar, a great setting for the weekly friday jazz-sessions."

| "We had a great time in this apartment. Its location allowed us a beautiful view of the harbour and access to the centre of town. For a small fee we were collected at the airport and greeted with basic provisions. The caretaker called to check that everything was okay which was courteous and heartening. The apartment itself is clean and simple, the kitchen furniture a tremendous shade of green. We'd certainly recommend it."

"Superview and very central in Valleta. Deborah should put more 50's furniture in, like the kitchen is now, could go right away in Wallpaper magazine.
Caretaker Sandra is Mrs. Malta, knows everything and everyone! She is absolutely the best!
We cannot wait till the roof terrace is finished to visit again Valleta.
Casper, Marcia, Paul"

Thanks Caspar for your positive comments. Just to let you know, plans are under way to turn the roof terrace into more of a roof 'garden'

Comment: This is a superb apartment, spacious, comfortable,fully equipped, and with a wonderful view over the harbour of Valletta. We found it ideal, because we wanted to be in Valletta, where there is a lot to see, and at the same time the apartment is only ten minutes' walk from the bus station where the buses depart to every part of Malta. In addition, there is a very kind caretaker who is extremely helpful.

Comment: We have just had a great 12 days in Valletta. The flat is spacious and comfortable with an amazing view of the Grand Harbour. It is very well sited by the Victoria Gate so everywhere is in easy walking distance up wide shallow steps. The bus terminus is close and we used the bus to explore the island- 20c a ticket! We found an excellent restaurant along the road at Pico Wharf, an easy 10 minute stroll back. Sandra the caretaker is both helpful and friendly.

Comment: My parents and I have just returned home after our fortnight in the Maltese islands. We had a week in St Lawrenz on Gozo after our stay in your superbly located apartment in Valletta. We did so enjoy our stay there. The view out over the Grand Harbour is rather special with all the activity and interest it provided. The apartment was a great base for exploring so much of Valletta and with the local buses much of the rest of the island. Re-reading Nicholas Monserrat's The Kappillan of Malta has certainly heightened our awareness of the rich history of the islands and the Grand Harbour in particular. Thank you for allowing us to arrive in the apartment early and leave late - this worked out for us very well. Sandra kindly called us on a number of occasions and it was reassuring to know there was someone there we could have called upon if needed.

Comment: Malta was a high point of our holiday. The apartment was all we had hoped for and more. After the mayhem that is Rome and Sicily, Malta was far more relaxed; though the long lunch breaks and the laid back attitude to working hours took a bit of getting used to :-)Special thanks for letting us leave late on the last day.If we ever get back to Malta we wouldn't risk staying anywhere else. We will happily recommend the apartment to anybody we can bore with our memories and photos!
