We opted for the transfers that were offered and were greeted at the airport by a friendly woman named Sharon and taken straight to the apartment. The apartment had a good space and was very quiet. The location was great with a supermarket nearby and just a block from the promenade, buses, and a short walk to the ferry and shops of Sliema. There were regular direct buses to Valletta and other places on the island. The apartment had plenty of cooking utensils (pots, pans, etc.), towels, and bed sheets, but you should bring your own soap/shampoo. There were plenty of windows and light. Internet was excellent and the bed was good. The heating worked well in winter. We were told about an allowance for electricity. This was worrying at first but we ended up having plenty of units despite doing lots of cooking and using the heating regularly. The only issue for us was that the main entrance door on the ground floor was often left unlocked and often popped open due to a sign saying that the should be the case. We would have preferred for it to at least pull shut and stay shut even if left unlocked for fire safety reasons. However, the neighbourhood felt very safe and thus this really wasn't a major concern for us. Altogether, the flat was a good base for us.
