I am so glad I chose this suite in Birgu/Vittoriosa for my visit. At least in mid-May it is not crowded compared to Valletta. It is located on a beautiful street and it put a smile on my face every morning as I set out and every evening coming home to wander along it.
The suite has great character and everything I needed. When I locked myself out the host responded within minutes with a way to get back in.
Some nights I chose one of the restaurants along the harbour and watched the lights of Senglea, others I chose one on the town square just a block away.
While there is much to see in Birgu, Valletta is also only a few minutes away by water taxi, which are a great way to travel across the harbour.
For those who tire of the crowds, I would strongly recommend this suite. You get the best of both cities.
