Reserved opinion.

Ian was a helpful host, providing us with plenty of information about good restaurants in Valletta and must-dos.

The apartment, set in a traditional Maltese building, is nicely laid-out and decorated. Unfortunately, it was quite unclean (stained blanket, crumbs and dirt on the sofa, foul-smelling towels, greasy kitchen...), which we were very surprised about given the Airbnb cleanliness ratings. We brought it to Ian's attention and he reacted nicely, taking some steps -- but that didn't change the apartment's general cleanliness. Note that the sofa bed is also not comfortable enough for sleeping so there's only really one bed in the studio.

All in all, this accommodation has great potential but for the price, it should be much more tended to and the sofa bed needs to be upgraded if it is to count as a bed.
