Disappointed,
We were 4 adults and 4 kids (of whom 3 babies). Kristy has been a nice host to us during 2 weeks, she answered all of our questions and has been helpful. The house itself is big and well located nearby the ferry To Valletta, there are a few groceries and a convenience store nearby and the view from the rooftop is great. That being said, we were disappointed by the apartment. For guest with babies, this house is not very appropriate. There are many stairs. And although it is mentioned in the description, we underestimated the humidity in Malta. It is the main problem in the house. The cellar is very humid, makes it impossible for the kids to sleep in there (some people don’t mind apparently but we found the musty smell too strong).
It makes the paint growling and some skirting boards falling. With the babies playing around, that’s not something we wanted to deal with. There is no AC in the living room and kitchen and even with the fans, it gets really hot during the day. If you come in numbers, it should be noted that there is no dishwasher in the kitchen.
But what bothered us the most was the cockroaches. We found some in the bathroom. Apparently there are very common in the City, they come from the drain but we don’t think it’s normal situation giving the price we paid.
