Spotlessly clean central location

Perfectly located to make the list of Valletta- close to the ferry to Gozo, boats to the three cities and a stone’s throw to bars and restaurants.

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.

Lovely flat looking out over Valetta Harbour

This flat was perfect for us with beautiful views over Valetta harbour. The views from the shared roof terrace were prenominal. The flat itself is everything it say it is online. We used the recommended taxi and the driver let us in the flat, which meant our arrival was easy and uncomplicated. We also opted for the welcome pack for 25 euros and it was a very good buy. Easy to get into central Valetta - either upstairs or using the lift ( 1 euros there and back) it was ideally placed for a lovely holiday.

Great access to the ferries.

Right near the 3 cities, Gozo and Blue Lagoon ferries. Watch the mammoth cruise ships glide right out your kitchen window. The air conditioning is a life saver.

Valletta experience

We were keen to spend time in Valletta and this location ticked all the boxes for us. Spacious. Clean. Close proximity to the harbour and city. Steps away from the lift to/from Upper Barrakka Gardens making the heart of Valetta easily accessible.

Good location and comfortable for a family

The apartment is really nice and comfortable with a beautiful view. There is not a keyless check in which was an inconvenience. We had someone pick us up at the airport to deliver the keys but the cost of that was more than finding our own transportation to the property. Having someone meet us with the keys was not an option by the host for a 8 pm check in. Other than that issue everything was great and Malta is amazing.

Perfect Holiday

We loved our stay at the Grand Harbour, accommodation was in a perfect spot, walking distance to busses, ferries & into to beautiful streets with all the shops, cafés & restaurants. The home had everything we needed & the housekeeper Sandra was fantastic, provided us with a few supplies for our arrival & organising our airport shuttle. We loved sitting on the little balcony watching the cruise ships pass by. Thank you Debra

Perfect location to experience the City

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is lovely and spacious. Beautiful furniture, comfortable beds, great views and nice outdoor spaces (the rooftop terrace is two flights up in the apartment building). We were delighted that our host arranged transportation for us, could have some essentials on hand when we arrived, and that we were met in person to get introduced to the apartment. Communication was excellent before and during our stay. The location is just a block from the ferries, and a couple blocks to be right in the heart of the City. It was great to be able to walk everywhere and close to the bus for our exploring other areas.

Great water views!

This gem of an apartment has great views of the harbor and near by church bell tower. The apartment has plenty of room with 2 different seating areas and 1 1/2 baths. Unless you want to walk up many flights of stairs, the way to get up into the the city center is to use then Barrakka Lift. The churches and Cathedral are very impressive. Be sure to get out of the city to see the Rabat, Mdina area.

Nice stay

Good location, especially if you are taking the fast ferry to Gozo. The water taxis also launch from just around the corner. Very large apartment with lots of space. The kitchen had everything we needed. The grocery is nearby and made it easy to eat several meals at home. Great communication with the person responsible for the apartment. Overall highly recommended!

Fabulous Location, Stunning Views, Quiet Area

The apartment is very spacious, clean and tidy. The kitchen is well equipped if you fancy cooking a meal. The views of the Grand Harbour are breath taking from the balcony. The apartment is in a great location being handy to Valletta centre and the waterfront but located in a nice quiet area. Sandra was very friendly, attentive and helpful. We highly recommend a stay at Debra’s apartment!!!

Incredible location

The four of us relished the central position of the apartment. Views from the balcony were exceptional for the Fireworks on Saturday night. The apartment itself was comfortable and well appointed We came by car and found it quite difficult to locate, my texts did not get thru to the manager and it was a challenge to find her when I did make contact. These hassles would be eliminated by accepting the offer of their taxi & the manager getting food in would be a good idea

Great location, good vskue

This apartment served all our needs. (Three adult women.) Great location just on the edge of busy town, walkable to everything. Not fancy, but roomy, well appointed, quiet, great view. Owner very responsive and manager helped when we had questions. I think we walked every inch of Valletta, and rented a car to see the interesting/historic parts of the island and Gozo. (Driving is challenging unless you are experienced.) Very fun, interesting place to visit.

Malta 2024

Loved the apartment. It was very easy to get to Valletta with the lift. Sandra was very helpful with information. Speed boat to Gozo was very close and spot to get the hop on and hop off bus was close. We found using the public bus to get around was very time consuming but using Bolt (Uber) was simple and not to expensive so we did both. My only complaint would be that there was no water pressure so it was very hard to was hair. It was only 13 Euro to get to the airport with Bolt.

Beautiful view

Spacious and well located property with beautiful views over the Three Cities. We encountered some issues with the plumbing, but it was fixed quickly. We were unfortunate to coincide with very noisy building works opposite, starting at 7am each day (including weekends), but once this is completed I can imagine it would be a perfect place to stay whilst in Malta. If we return to Malta we would definitely stay there again. The property manager Sandra had welcomed us with some food and drink essentials, which was lovely.

Overall our stay was good

Getting hold of the owners was simple and response was good We were shown around by Sandra (always nice to meet the owner) who did show us how to work washing machine and air con etc and organised a shop so we had enough for breakfast and sandwiches Was a little disappointed that the top balcony wasn’t attached to a room as we thought from the pictures and had to go up the hallway to top floor. We had a little difficulty getting hold of Wi-Fi password as the welcome pack wasn’t to hand for a few days. Just a suggestion that there were written/typed instructions (within the welcome pack) on what to do with waste/recycling etc as the bin lid wasn’t in English and maybe about other appliances with the apartment Also maybe some suggestions of local restaurants in the area and places to visit though there were quite a few leaflets to hand. The above are just thoughts to help future visitors. We did have a great stay in this spacious home and the location was perfect with interesting views of the comings and going’s in the harbour. Go on try it for yourself 😃

Spacious Apartment With A Great View

Almost set into the side of the cliffs below Upper Barrakka Gardens, this apartment has a lovely view from the balcony across the Grand Harbour to the Three Cities. Keep an eye out for one of the huge cruise ships coming in to berth. To the other side is a cliff face where some repair work was going on during our stay (late March 2023). Yes, it did start early in the morning, but it really wasn’t that noisy, and I suspect it won’t take much longer to complete. To get to central Valletta you have two choices. One is to take a five minute walk down to the Upper Barrakka Gardens lift. It costs one euro for a return journey. It’s made of glass so I would recommend doing it at least once for fun and views. The Gardens themselves are one of the few places with a better view to the Three Cities than the apartment. The other choice for getting into the centre is to walk up 100+ steps spread over several flights. The steps are very shallow and I had no real problem despite being over 60 and overweight. A very handy aspect to the location is that you're only a few minutes’ walk from both the ferry to the Three Cities and the fast ferry to Gozo. We used both and would highly recommend them. The living space here is excellent (bearing in mind there was just the two of us). The kitchen is spacious, complete with a large table and plenty of worktop. The furnishings are a little tired, but there is ample crockery, cutlery, glassware, etc. The main bathroom suffers from very low water pressure for the shower, but it’s roomy and everything works. The main bedroom is again roomy, has plenty of storage and possibly the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in when renting. Great night’s sleep every time. The TV lounge has two large settees, but it must be said they desperately need repairing. They look fine but turn into buckets when you sit on (in!) them. The TV has very few channels in English other than news, but we take Google TV with us anyway. Other than the cliff repairs, the apartment is in a quiet location in a well-maintained building. The few other residents we met seemed very friendly. Speaking of friendly, thank you Sandra for the starter groceries and for your help in getting us settled in. We also greatly appreciated the airport transfer service for 25 euros each way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have no issue staying here again should we return to Valletta.

Exceeded expectations

Everything about this property is even better than you read! Debra communicated really well, giving us the option of a driver meeting us and Sandra (housekeeper) meeting us and buying essential provisions. Both options were a godsend. Sandra is great- very friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing was a problem.The apartment location is ideal. Easy to get to the ferry to Gozo or to the 3 cities. There is a swimming area 10-15 mins away and the central area of Valletta is a simple walk. You’re close to everything. The bus station is 10 minutes away and you can go anywhere from there.The apartment is well stocked with essentials. It is comfortable with great air con, comfy beds and seating. The balcony looks over the harbour. There is a washing machine- laundry essentials provided.In all, it was a brilliant home away from home. A definite 5 stars!

Great location!

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!!

Great location

This apartment is in the best location to really enjoy Malta. We enjoyed Valetta, bus journeys to various locations, cheap Bolt journeys as well as comfortably enjoyed the taxi pick up and taking to the airport organised by Debra / Sandra. In terms of the location in Valetta, you have 2 easy options of going to the bus terminus, either via the Barrakka lift or the stairs. Food is easily obtained either from Wembley or the Food court and there is also Spar on the corner opposite St John’s Co-cathedral. There are several street food stalls at the bus terminus or pastizzerias in Valetta. In terms of where we were able to go in just a week, we managed bus journeys to Golden Bay and l-Ghadira bay. Marsaxlokk had lots of great fish restaurants and very close to St Peter’s Pool for the adventurous. The apartment is right next to the Fast Gozo ferry, so we enjoyed a day trip where we hired a car for the day to visit remote beaches. My eldest kids enjoyed a social night life and felt safe everywhere they went. Bus services or Bolt supported their travels. Valetta is becoming more popular now and you can see this with more and more bars opening up whether on quirky steps / roads or other pedestrianised roads. Staying at Debra’s apartment means you are right in the heart of the social atmosphere, yet a block or 2 away, enabling you to not be impacted by any noise. Sandra on the ground was very helpful and there to help with showing us around the apartment.
