A reasonable quite area compared to the towns and city. Built up but not imposing. Fifteen minute bus ride into Valletta. Plenty of taxis to choose from using an App. Buses are cheap but unpredictable.

San Gwann is in no way a tourist area so should not be...
San Gwann is in no way a tourist area so should not be judged by those criteria. It's a mixed suburb on the outskirts of Valetta and the 3 cities. There are some very smart areas in parts and the centre is a busy main road with humbler accommodation and a lot of small shops, grocers, chemist, bakers etc and an attractive church.
It's nice when you're walking around, shopping or waiting for a bus to feel part of local Maltese life. The sea and harbours of the tourist areas are only a bus ride away.
A couple of times I visited a tiny local bar where the customers and staff were really friendly to me and I really enjoyed chatting to them. They, like me, were mainly over 50s!
Eating was quite difficult in the evenings. Having spent all day out and about I wanted to eat near my hotel. There was a vast choice of takeaways but only two eat-in possibilities.
Nearest was a chain called Eeezyeats which sold 'healthy' food with no wine. I had a ghastly kale, chickpea and gristly chicken salad there and didn't go again.
Okurama Asian Fusion was much better with great food and a very drinkable house wine. Being the only restaurant, of course, it was very popular and, on the Saturday night I couldn't even get a table for 1! It was always full but could usually fit me in.
San Gwann is well served by buses which go all over the island. You need to really familiarise yourself with the timetables as some information and bus stop names can be confusing.
It also helps in asking for info when you realise San Gwann is pronounced San Juan and 'xx' is pronounced 'sh'. It took me some time!
