What an amazing location! We were right in the middle of everything, a short walk to the ferry and even had prime viewing for the fireworks contest. And, it never felt touristy. The area was quiet at night and clearly not thronged with cruise ship visitors. Francis walked us through everything on arrival and the apartment was entirely as advertised. Just wonderful.

One of the best places we have stayed! The apartment with its beautiful views of the harbour was like a serene sanctuary after navigating the crowds in Valletta. Francis met us upon our arrival and gave us the lay of the land so we did not need to figure it out on our own. As a tip for travellers when using Bolt, you should arrange for a pick up out on Grand Harbour street and drop off at Fort Saint Angelo as the apartment is a little difficult for taxi’s to find. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

My husband, teenage daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the apartment in Vittorioso. The views from the balcony were gorgeous overlooking Valletta and the Grand Harbour with cruise ships coming and going and even a special viewing of the fireworks one night. Connie’s father Francis was especially helpful when our cab driver left us in an incorrect location in the village. He kindly met us and drove us to the apartment, showed us around and even supplied some supplies to get us started in the morning after our late arrival. We also greatly appreciated the late checkout which allowed us to see a bit more of the area before leaving for Gozo. There is lots to see and do nearby in the village as well as wonderful restaurants and walks along the water. We took advantage of the small traditional boats to get to and from Valletta mostly but Bolt was easy and quick as well. It was a pleasure to return back to the apartment in a quieter area and sit back with a glass of wine on the balcony with that beautiful view each evening. Highly recommended!

Communication from Connie prior to our stay was excellent and Francis being on hand to greet us made finding the location and the check in process much easier (and we were able to check in a little early which was really helpful). Apartment was perfectly clean and well equipped. The view from the sunny balcony each morning was glorious and we particularly enjoyed the local Birgu area and taking the water taxis to Valetta to explore the local history.

We loved our stay. The check in was made easy by the hosts father who met us upon arrival. We found the refrigerator stocked with some essentials which was a really nice touch. The apartment was clean and just as described, we enjoyed the balcony, and the views were spectacular. The swimming area in front was clean and refreshing and was enjoyed by locals and residents alike. The location was excellent and was within walking distance to Birgu square (bus stop, restaurants, pharmacy and provisions) waterfront restaurants, museums, forts and Valletta was a short water taxi/ferry away. We would definitely stay here again.

Water’s Edge is the perfect apartment for a mature family and friends. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood with local Maltese culture. The apartment had all the amenities and comforts of a home with spectacular views of the waterfront. Clean, quiet, and very comfortable home away from home. The best part for us was the private swimming area below the apartment! Highly recommend!

Great location

The property was very well located, large and quiet, no passing traffic. The views from the balcony and lounge room really made our stay.Well stocked with crockery, cutlery and glasses. Milk, bread and cheese on arrival was a nice touch.Only suggestion for improvement would be upgrading the linen on the beds.

Super spacious apartment on the waterfront.

Apartment was modern, bright and very spacious with an amazing view across the water. Everything we could have needed was supplied, including, unfortunately, an umbrella! Would need a few more chairs on the balcony if five were staying there. The waterfront restaurants were great and if you want peace and quiet Vittoriosa is the place to stay. It was fun going to Valetta on the gondolas to explore the bustling city and also to get provisions and onward travel. A great short break.

Connie was very responsive by email and her father Francis explained things when we checked in. Very nice.Francis had some water and food there to get us through our first night. Security staff was always friendly, but we always felt safe in the area of Birgu. The mattresses could be replaced, but that may just be us. I would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your apartment, loved the view.

Don't worry about driving

This is a fantastic apartment in a really nice area of Malta. Check in was great with Francis meeting our taxi near a restaurant and then taking us to the parking spot for the apartment and then the apartment. This was great because it would have been very difficult to find otherwise but once you know where everything is then it is easy. I won't repeat all the good things said about the apartment as they are all accurate - it really is a lovely place with superb views. The restaurats nearby are excellent and theTuna I had at Cargo was fantastic ( I had it twice). Getting to Valetta is easy on the Dgħajsas which were 3 euro per person and great fun or the ferry (which was easier for by 82 year old mother in law) for 2 euro each. The only mistake we made was not staying longer as we wanted to see the rest of Malta and were worried about parking and driving. Because of this we hired a car and stayed on Gozo for the second part of our trip. While this was very nice Gozo is a bit small. We would have been better staying here and using it as a base to explore Malta. The driving to and from the apartment was easy and the general standard of driving in Malta was fine (we had heard that it was a bit crazy) - we never felt unsafe. There is a dedicated parking spot that was easy to park in and not tight. Overall a fantastic stay.
