A Trip Back in Time
Hotels and VRBO flats can be found everywhere in Valletta, a piece of history is another story. Staying here is like time travel, an experience, the Maltese magic. Truly special stay in this authentic Maltese property. You could feel the history literally peeling off the walls. A unique and once in a lifetime experience. I won’t repeat what is referred to in other reviews. The moment we walked in we were captured by the magic of 500-years of history. If you’re looking for a unique experience, feeling history, and creating a travel memory, this is the place for you. If you’re looking for a “sterile” typical “North American” stay, not sure this is for you. Our hosts, James and Jacob, we’re best of class; helpful, informative, and available at all times.

Historic place with fantastic location!
It was easy to book and easy to find. Fantastic historic home in the old neighborhood in a great location near Fort Saint Elmo. Easy walking distance to the main sites. The apartment is very cute, well-maintained, and a delight to be in! When I come back to Valetta I will definitely stay there again!

Beautiful house and great location.
Fantastic house ,very beautiful and extremely comfortable. Location is great with a very steep walk up to the centre of Valletta. The house is surrounded by shops and easy reach to bars and restaurants. Would highly recommend a stay here but be aware that if you have any mobility issues maybe the location is not for you . We would definitely return if we were to visit in the future.

Fantastic stay in Valletta!
My mum and I stayed a week at Jame's apartment which was very well located in the city (within 5-10 mins of the toen centre and 15 mins walk from the bus station), there were plnety of places to eat nearby as well as shop locally. We loved the apartment with its decor and would definately recommended anyone else staying here.

Excellent stay in Valletta
We enjoyed our week in this very authentic old house that is well appointed and noticeably loved by its owner. James was very attentive to our needs and arranged both pick up and drop off to the airport. As mentioned by other reviewers the house is spread over 3 levels ,the steps between floors we managed with ease. Ventilation in the bottom floor where the kitchen is was limited so we were a little hestitant to cook much more than eggs for breakfast. We loved being part of the neighbourhood accessing bread, fruit, vege,wine and anything else we needed all within a block of the house. A little bar -Gugar.. around the corner in Republica Street was our finishing point most day... highly recommend...great food and cheap drinks. Thanks James for having us.

Ideal location, traditional house, perfect!
The accommodation is 10 mins walk into Valetta, close to ferries and bus station. Traditional house, beautifully furnished with all that you need. Communication with James/Paul was immediate and friendly. Could not have asked for a better location and we enjoyed our stay (our third time in Malta) immensely. Nearby. Restaurants in Republik street offer superb meals and there are plenty to chose from.

Fabulous, like stepping back in time!
Loved the apartment, it was so old, with gorgeous stone, beams, aesthetically pleasing authentic, a charming place to stay for one week. Liked the arched walls, added to its antiquity. The fans were great for the hot nights. I appreciated the fact that there was milk when we arrived particularly as we arrived around midnight. The owner also had two kinds of cereal for the guests. Everything was there that we needed including a nice hot shower! The apartment was spotless, couldn't fault it, just watch out for the low stone ceiling when going down the steps as you could hit your head. It's located quite close to the centre and there is a shop around the corner. There are a lot of steps and they are uphill so be prepared for a lot of walking. There is a lot to see in Valletta: museums, palaces, 5D movie theatre etc so you won't be bored and the panoramic views are breathtaking. The bus terminal is quite near, at the top of republic street and it's quite cheap to travel. There are an abundance of shops and restaurants to choose from with octopus being a popular choice on the menu! Take care to bring repellent as I saw many people with insect bites! Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable stay!!
