Zona’s apartment is perfect for couples, whether holidaying or working remotely while discovering this amazing country that is Malta. The apartment has a living room with a dedicated workspace (large desk), open-space kitchen separated by a counter perfectly suited for having breakfast. The kitchen is very well equipped despite its small size. The bedroom is completely separated from the living room, with a nice comfortable bed and an adjacent bathroom. Perfect shower: for us, water pressure and drainage are very important, and many accommodations are lacking in this respect, but in Zona’s apartment everything was working great. The balcony with a small table and two chairs allowed us to indulge in nice morning and evening coffee/cigarette breaks while enjoying the buzz of the neighborhood.
Impeccable communication with the host who was extremely helpful, responsive and discreet, even if she and her family were living next door (there is one shared entrance to two opposite flats, the host's and the guests’). We visited Malta in late October-early November, so we weren’t planning any sea bathing. However, Zona told us that water was great and provided us with beach towels, so we could enjoy four terrific sea escapades thanks to her recommendation. Also, as we stayed for 11 nights, Zona provided us with a change of towels after five days. Power plug adapters were also available from the host.
Another nice touch: the welcome breakfast supplies that we found upon arrival—bread, milk, ham and cheese, sweets, water, coffee, oil, spices. If you arrive late at night after your flight, it helps a lot to have this first meal assured.
The building has an elevator. There is a little grocery shop on the same street, one minute’s walk away, and a laundromat two minutes’ walk away (might be useful for longer stays because the flat doesn’t have a washing machine). Larger supermarkets are also within walking distance. Multiple bus stops also nearby, the closest one being three minutes’ walk away.
We had everything we needed, and we enjoyed our stay in Zona’s nice and cozy apartment. After a few days, we started feeling like home. Thank you, Zona, for making this possible!
