I would highly recommend Ian's apartment for anyone looking for top notch accommodation with a great location and easy connections to all the tourist sites on the island. The apartment is 5 minutes walk from bus stops that take you all over the island, and some decent (if a little touristy) cafes/restaurants on the water front. It's a 10/15 minute walk from St. Julian's with all its bars if that's your kind of thing; but the part of Sliema that the apartment is in is quiet. The apartment itself is exactly as shown in the pictures and is super comfortable. Ian is a great host -- as my mum and I arrived late at night and wouldn't have time to get food, he provided us with milk and chocolate croissants for breakfast! The apartment had tea and coffee in the cupboards so we were all set when we woke up the next morning! I would definitely stay at Ian's place again should I return to Malta.
