Great stay in this apartment. Well equipped, comfortable and clean with a fantastic view. Located in a lovely part of Malta. Lots of character but not too busy. Easy to get to Valletta and plenty of restaurants. Light festival was a bonus.

Well equipped apartment in a fantastic location. It was a joy to walk down the steps and into the sea. Excellent restaurants in easy walking distance and San Angelo fort right on the doorstep is a must see. Only downside was the mini mart in Birgu seemed to be permanently shut.
Beautiful location, lovely clean apartment. In a location where there are plenty of restaurants with good quality food.Lovely little boats to get to Valetta from the waterfront. Just all round lovely.
Just loved the location of this comfortable flat from swimming off the tocks outside to visiting Birgu and the short ferry trip to Vallettta. Some trouble finding car park initially but got there in end.
This property in Birgu, Malta has a beautiful setting. The ground floor balcony looks across the marina and enjoys views of the Grand Harbour and Valetta in the distance. The accommodation is roomy and as presented in the documentation and is equipped with all the amenities to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable.
Apartment is in a great location! Just outside St Angelo Fort. Quiet but easy access to many restaurants. Easy access to Valletta by boat ferry. Plenty of space for family vacation and all the necessary amenities!
My family with two sons (27 and 18) abdolutely enjoyed our stay at the the wonderful flat. We could take a bath every morning in the sea and enjoy the view of the harbour and valetta. We enjoyed tje fine dining in Valetta, the wonderful nature of Gozo and the market on tuesday in Birgu. We love to cook together and a wonderful tume .
A home from home that is well equipped with everything a family would need. The location is great; Birgu is a lovely area with easy access to other parts of the island.
Excellent apartment in a perfect location. Homely and comfortable, plenty of space for 6. Well equipped throughout including outdoor seating for sitting in the balcony to watch the boats and fireworks. We really enjoyed jumping into the harbour outside the building to swim.
Situated in the best place to experience historic Malta, walking distance to lots or great bars and restaurants in Birgu and Kalkara, plus easy to take the boats across to Valletta. We had a fabulous stay and hope to return.
Lovely property in a brilliant location. Loved being able to swim in the harbour, easy to get to Valletta and lots of local restaurants. Plenty of space for our whole party. Information for the keys clear, just complicated by Ryanair changing flight times as it meant we arrived about 1am which made the process stressful in the dark.
I cannot tell you how stunning the view from this apartment is. It's a great location, near to everything but calm. The apartment itself is pretty straightforward, with three good sized bedrooms, washer and dryer, and full sized refrigerator and dishwasher. Two full bathrooms. The whole area is stunning, walking to and from the apartment every day is wonderful. We would happily stay there again anytime!

Thank you for your kind words and I am glad that you enjoyed yourselves despite arriving shortly after the worst storm that Malta has experienced since 1982!
We all loved staying at Christiane's apartment in Birgu. The flat was spotless, and very well equipped especially the kitchen, so much so we tried to guess what we would not find!! A colander! The view from the balcony is fantastic, and we were lucky enough to be there when the fireworks from Valletta were taking place, from row seating!!
We would love to go back again sometime and highly recommend, many thanks for letting us stay!

So glad that you all enjoyed your stay. But you are wrong, I do have a colander!
We absolutely loved this apartment. Very convenient to everything in Birgu. The ferry and water taxi are both within easy walking distance to get to Valletta.
The kitchen has whatever pans/dishes you might need. The view is great from the balcony, (just bring the chairs in if it's going to rain, they get pretty dirty). And I should mention the bed in the master bedroom is soft and oh so comfortable😊
If I'm ever back in Malta, this is where I'll stay.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Unrivalled apartment and location but
there must have been some issues on this occasion as the apartment was much dirtier than my own when I haven’t cleaned for a long while. Only floors superficial clean and fresh sheets but otherwise bedding needs throwing out or proper cleaning, generally needed a deep clean but maybe this is because we came out of season.The owner seems very kind and she said the cleaner had an issue, but it couldn’t be better situated.

So glad you had a good time and I look forward to hearing from you when decide to move in!
Steps from the water, relax on a beautiful terrace watching the ships pass by and know you are just minutes by water taxi or ferry from the action in Valletta but at home in quiet and serene Birgu. The apartment was spacious and well equipped with comfortable beds, two showers plus a washer and drier. We found Il-Pjazzetta self service close for most groceries. There are lots of excellent restaurants a close walk away. Christiane was always available to answer questions and give advice and she arranged Franklin garage to pick us up at the airport. We also used Franklin for the return trip to the airport as well as a full day long trip to Gozo. We would absolutely return to this property on another trip to Malta.

Half term family holiday
The location of this apartment is fantastic and sitting on the balcony for breakfast was great. We didn't hire a car as there was plenty to do just meandering around Birgu. We did walk to the sandy bay for a swim but mostly we just went for a dip in front of the apartment. We used the ferry to get to Valetta and the open top bus stop was also close by. The local grocery shops serve the local community but had everything we required. The only thing missing was tourist shops. The owner arranged for our pickup at the airport and the driver waited while we purchased bread milk etc in the airport shop as we arrived late on a Saturday. The property was clean and well furnished and very comfortable. We would recommend this property and would consider staying there again ourselves.

What a view!
I stayed in this wonderful apartment with my sister and a friend for a week. It has a huge living space and is well equipped. The views from the balcony are stunning and I have so many photos from this viewpoint. The beds were comfortable and there was enough hot water for 3 people showering daily. The balcony has sun until around 11.30am so we made the most of that and let the light flood into the apartment - it can be quite dark and cold (heaters provided). The apartment is close to the water taxis to Vallarta (2€ at this time of year) and several places to eat. The square behind St Lawrence's church has a couple of tiny shops but supermarkets are a distance away. The buses also stop here.
Christiane is really helpful and communication is excellent. She was available to resolve a minor issue. I wouldn't hesitate in booking this apartment again and I loom forward to returning to Malta in the future.
Many thanks for the use if your wonderful apartment Christiane.

Thank you for your kind words and so glad that you enjoyed the apartment and our wonderful views. I never tire of them after 10 years!
We spent 2 weeks in Christiane's apartment in Birgu. You notice at once that this not simply a holiday rental but a place which is loved and lived in.
The kitchen is very well equipped and it is fun to cook what you have found at the markets or the little shops in Birgu. The beds are very comfy -- we couldn't believe how well (and long!) we slept.The flat is large enough to allow everyone "private space". Sitting on the balcony for breakfast is simply perfect. I imagine the balcony in summer is paradise in the evenings. Not necessarily in February especially when you experience a cyclone!
The neighbours are friendly. The local shops, bars and restaurants are excellent (as long as you are not expecting huge supermarkets!)
The little ferry to Valletta runs every 30 minutes. The fast ferry to Gozo (takes only 45 minutes) and leaves from the terminal where you arrive from Birgu. The bus service is excellent. The location has everything you would wish for and you certainly do not need a car The taxi pick-up by Franklin Garage at the airport which Christiane organised was ideal. All in all we would definitely recommend Christiane's flat.

Thank you so much for your kind review and thank you also for looking after our home during the cyclone - we are very grateful! Hopefully you will come again when the weather is much, much better!
Emplacement magique au coeur de Birgu, face à la mer !
Emplacement exceptionnel au coeur de Birgu, possibilité de baignade à deux pas, promenade sur le port, visite du fort...
Appartement tout confort et spacieux.
Christiane est très à l'écoute et sympathique.
Aucune hésitation !
Outstanding property & location made for an enjoyable stay.
Check in is a little tricky but communication with owner was excellent.
Improvement needed with cleanliness.... bed sheets in master bedroom had numerous stains, opened food packages left in fridge and dishwasher found with full load of dishes inside.

About the host
Hosted by Christiane Morris
I lived in Malta until I was 11 - a most wonderful, 'golden' childhood spending most of my time either in or by the sea. I have always retained a very strong emotional tie to this quirky island and we bought our apartment in 2007 to spend time here with our family and friends.
Why they chose this property
The location is just superb - as soon as I arrive, throw open the front doors and go onto the balcony, I can forget everything else. There is always something to watch in Grand Harbour - from superyachts and super-sized cruise ships to rowing boats and the local luzzu. Even a dolphin or two if you are lucky!
What makes this property unique
The view - and the access to such a wide variety of places to eat and drink just on the doorstep. In the summer, we also love swimming in the sea just outside the apartment or crossing the creek and making our way round to the sandy bay at Rinella.
