The traditional architecture in Malta is compelling, particularly the balconies. Some are in poor repair, and the sea air is not kind to sandstone structures. There's little room for green space but many buildings have been well maintained or restored attractively.

Friday and Saturday nights pretty loud here (here being Paceville in general and our building in particular). Night clubs across from and underneath us and young people exuberant enough to be high decibel even without the music. Mostly the rhythm can be heard, or more accurately felt, rarely accompanied by anything resembling melody. We're pretty sound sleepers, though, and can't say the reviews didn't warn us. Revs up about ten at night on the weekends and ends at about 4 AM.
