Overall I had a really enjoyable stay here but I need to raise an important point: at the time of writing the listing doesn't mention that the apartment is in the basement with limited natural light. Only after reading through all the reviews retrospectively did I find this mentioned once or twice. This wouldn't necessarily be a problem for short stays but I was here for a month and would have appreciated this information before choosing this location. It being a basement in an old stone building (during winter) there was a degree of dampness too.
Marica and Arend were excellent hosts and went above and beyond during my stay, including providing extra solutions for the unexpected roadworks. The apartment is really comfortable and very charming. Senglea is a beautiful place and I can't wait to come back to Malta.
