A traditional Maltese home in the Three Cities

Highly interesting neighbourhood, local character. Nicely furnished apartment.

The shower was almost clogged. No blackout curtains in the bedroom, so it is quite bright night and day. A smell of mould is present, but that is a general problem in the historical buildings in Malta.

The location is perfect, minutes walk from the main square and waterside restaurants yet quiet and peaceful at night.

The downstairs area was dark but that is the norm in all Maltese homes in the old quarter unless you are on the top floor. The bedroom on the other hand has lovely natural light.

Lage und Ambiente

Schimmel Geruch im Erdgeschoss und die Klimaanlage im Erdgeschoss lässt sich nicht steuern läuft immer auf 25 Grad.

I love Birgu. Vibrant square wi r h plenty of eateries on offer as well as the history. Know it well. Comfortable and safe. Happy the home has a washing machine. Neat and tidy place.

No windows downstairs for some fresh air, no tea bags, no clothes airer for drying washed clothes. I would suggest instructions in the manual - how to use the washing machine in English, where to find the stove on/off switch hiding behind coffeemaker. A microwave would be handy. Also, please talk to your neighbour, the Bird Shop, and ask him to spray some CRC on his roller door. The noise is frightening if you're asleep.

The location

Living area damp and claustrophobic with virtually a continuous noise from ventilation fan day and night. No curtains to the bedroom window so always light as streetlights at night. Lights flicking, no floor towel etc all reported to staff but no action made...

Fantastic location in a beautiful quiet old city , few tourists and not much through traffic . Superb comms via WhatsApp. Spotlessly clean , reliable WiFi , comfy bed , excellent shower , enough crockery and cooking utensils . Very recently refurbished to a good standard in an old building . Washing machine with tumble drier . A lovely touch was a complimentary bottle of red wine. It's 10 minutes walk to the Three Cities ferry for Valletta (which takes just 10 minutes) and just beyond there to the local shop. From the apartment it's 5 minutes walk to "Fortini"bus stop routes 3 and 4 to Valletta in 25 minutes. Eateries on the main square in Birgu; also go over the bridge after the ferry terminal to Senglea for waterfront dining looking across to Birgu . Download Ecabs or Bolt app : taxi from airport to apartment about 9 euros .

There is a bright street light meters from the bedroom window which needs a black out curtain : there is a glow in the room at night . The air conditioning remote downstairs is broken so unit couldn't operate . This is a building over 400 years old built into stone : nevertheless there is a very noticeable musty damp smell downstairs which is unpleasant. I opened the front door when in situ downstairs as this was the only means of naturally ventilating the room ; the owners have installed a wall fan on a timer but the musty damp smell is noticeable whenever you enter from the street or from upstairs .

Great location, right in the middle of old town. Great bathroom, spacious and walk in closet great.

Very tiny kitchen with few appliances. Due to the type of property it unfortunately smells a bit damp.

Though it has a small footprint it is a very comfortable apartment, we liked the history of the building and the surrounding area. The apartment had everything we needed for a good stay.

The shower drain had not been cleaned for a long time, and I had to clear it as the drain was not emptying at all. Hopefully the property manager stays on top of this, as I notified them directly of this issue. Also the directions supplied by Bookings.com was not accurate for Maps.me and Google Maps. I entered the address into Google to accurately find the apartment successfully.

Location excellent in a quiet authentic street. Bathroom and bedroom comfortable.

Personally I missed having outside space but I was aware prior to booking. Nasty smell of damp in the downstairs but it is a very old property so perhaps unavoidable.

Nice location Comfortable bed Big TV
