Lovely, modern apartment in a great area by the water in St Paul's Bay.
Mark-Anthony was a good host - greeting us on arrival to direct us to the apartment (which can be slightly difficult to find on a first attempt) and providing us with water, wine and Maltese snacks. A very nice touch.
A few points to note, summarised below:
PROS
- Good location - you can reach virtually anywhere on the island by car in under 30 minutes.
- Balcony and views over St Paul's Bay.
- Comfortable bed and sofa.
- Very modern fittings and nice finishes.
- Clean apartment with plenty of space for clothes and luggage.
- Good amenities including washing machine, iron, hairdryer, fridge-freezer, large television, etc.
CONS
- The boiler leaked so that the bathroom floor was constantly wet.
- The toilet seat was broken which can be pretty pesky.
- There was no way to turn on the electric fireplace (one of the reasons we decided to stay).
- The balcony is rusty and somewhat dirty and could benefit from a thorough repaint/revamp.
- Whilst welcoming, the host was slow to respond to messages.
However, we consider that these cons could be easily rectified.
All in all, we had a very good time at Mark-Anthony's apartment and would recommend it.
