    I had to leave!!!!!!

    The location was central and excellent The balconies let you rest but still feel amongst the town, like your own personal cafe for people watching The cafe below was so friendly and delicious. The “GoldenHarvest” store — how did they have every need covered in such a small space 40 m away! Parking was easy.

    So charming the accommodation. The area of Rabat was the best choice—no crowds, beautiful buildings. We enjoyed the restaurants and bars in the evening. This little apartment is in the heart of Rabat. Very cute little balcony where we also tried our breakfast there :) The owner is always reachable and very kind.

    This Suite was awesome, right in the heart of old town Rabat near the church. Really lovely furnished, spacious and well equipped with very comfortable bed and hot shower. We also loved the balcony where we had coffee and breakfast every morning watching the people walking pass. Joseph was extremely helpful, replaced the broken hairdryer immediately and came around to explain the induction plate to us. Mdina only five minutes walk away, St Paul’s catacombs too and lovely Rabat. We parked our car on the parking lot just around the corner, very convenient. When coming during the weekend, bring ear plugs, the bar opposite is playing music until midnight.

    The location was so central, right in the heart of Rabat, but still with a strong sense of community. So easy to settle into and explore Mdina and Rabat at leisure, all within walking distance. And very comfortable accommodation.

    There was nothing we didn't love about the about the apartment or our yummy breakfast below (offered with a discount for apartment). We had a rented car and in June parking in the town is a challenge but each time we held our breath and found a place within a few minutes. This is nothing that is a problem with the rental, just the popular town as a whole needs more parking. Once parked we typically always walked within Rabat and Mdina and moved the car as little as possible only for day trips.

    We loved absolutely everything about the apartment, never happier with a Booking place than this. It has a fabulous location, central to everything, nice views, charming historic apartment, lively area in day and quiet at night, great value for money, nicely decorated, spotless, enjoyed breakfast in coffee shop below, loved wine on the balcony and watching the street activities. We had the added fun of watching the preparations for the St Paul festival on the streets around us. We stayed a week and took day trips and explored Rabat and Mdina which are wonderful. Could not have been happier or more content.

    It is located in the center of the town and next to a restaurant and can get noisy until late in the night. For us, it is not a problem but maybe it will for family with small kids.

    The beds especially the pillows (even better than at home :)). It is a spacious apartment with nice bathroom and good air conditioning and 2 balconies overview the streets below. The host, Joseph is very nice and helpful and he made sure we have everything we need. Really appreciate it. We really enjoyed our stay there.

    The bar next door was noisy on Saturday evening, but it was only open until 12.00, so it was OK in the end.

    We had problems figuring out how to open the lock box, but the lady at the pastry shop helped. Breakfast was also good and it was nice to get a discount. Excellent central location. The suite was more spacious than we expected.

    The cooling sistem on the roof is to loud. At night it makes difficult to fall asleep. During the day you do not hear it because of the city sounds. I would gladly give a 10+ if this issue could be fixed.

    The location, the rooms, the communication with the host. Beautifull and big apartment with 2 balconies and a roof terace. A little kitchen for the morning breakfast and spacious bathroom.

    Don't let this stop you visiting it's just an honest observation, The downside to the fabulous location is the noise from the church bells, they ring through the day and night. The bar next door creates noise that travels up to the apartment as the windows are traditional Maltese ones. The apartment building is on the corner of a busy road and the Maltese are very horn beepy. The only other thing to mention is the stairs up to the apartment are fairly steep and may cause issues for some if not noted.

    The apartment is absolutely fantastic, exactly as the photos show. It's a credit to the host! The location is wonderful and the view is spectacular. Rabat is a magical place day and night. I would absolutely recommend visiting.
