We received a very warm welcome from our host, despite our late arrival, and she was equally accommodating about our departure.
The apartment is very well situated 10-15 minutes walk from a lovely sandy beach. The bus stop is a few minutes' walk and there is a very good service around the island. Mellieha town is up a rather steep hill so if you are unable or, like us, too tired or lazy to walk up, the bus is a great option. There is an excellent selection of quality restaurants in town and the downhill walk back after dinner is very pleasant.
We found the apartment comfortable, with a lovely view over the rooftops to the bay from a small balcony, well suited to an early morning coffee, breakfast or evening glass of wine. I think it would be fair to say that the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from updating, but our host bought the property only recently and we understand this is her intention. In any event it did not spoil our stay in this pleasant accommodation.
