There were no problems with checking in or contacting the landlord whatsoever. He was very involved and offered us help when we needed it. The apartment itself was great. Air conditioning worked great, so it was insanely comfortable to go inside during hot days on Malta. When we got there we met water awaiting us, which really helped with surviving the weather. The area was quiet and calm, but easly accesible and beautiful too. Overall the only downside was a watter leakage through the floor in the kitchen. At the end of the day it was a little irritating, but absolutely not a deal-breaker. At the end of the day we think it's a great place and we'd 100% recommend it if the price satisfies you.
