We had a very enjoyable stay at Tonio's apartment for a week in October. The apartment is exactly as described on the website, and was smartly furnished, spacious, well equipped and immaculately clean. The location is great, with a stunning view of the harbour from the windows, and 5 minutes' walk from the ferry which whisks you to Valletta (and to transport links to the rest of the island) in about 10 minutes. Ferries run every 30 minutes during the day but be aware that they are less frequent in the evening so you need to plan your return carefully to avoid hanging around. One of the two open top bus tours that operate around the island stops at the waterfront right outside the apartment - for the other you have to go to Valletta and compete for a place with the crowds getting off the cruise ships. We also travelled by bus around the island which was straightforward but buses returning from to Valletta in the late afternoon were VERY crowded and often didn't stop to let people on. One thing that might bother some travellers is that the apartment was fairly noisy - although it's a quiet neighbourhood, there is a bar downstairs where we found people sat out talking till the small hours on the warmer nights we were there, and the apartment is also situated at a turning spot by the waterfront where a lot of coaches and lorries some to wait or unload, meaning there was quite a lot of traffic noise from early in the morning. We used ear plugs and found it not to be a major problem, but do remember to bring ear plugs with you unless you're a heavy sleeper. Tonio was a great host - communication from good from the outset, he gave clear instructions on how to reach the apartment, was waiting for us when we arrived, and gave us some useful tips (as well as leaving a comprehensive folder of tourist info), as well as offering to walk us round the neighbourhood (we were tired from travelling and declined, but appreciated the offer). He had left bread, butter, milk, tea, coffee and some biscuits for us, which was a really nice touch - and the café/store downstairs was handy for topping up on basic provisions (we didn't eat there until the last day, when we had a pastizzi for lunch and wished we'd gone there earlier!). Tonio was in touch during our stay to check everything was OK, and was happy to answer questions - and when we asked where there were any concerts on he went to the trouble of dropping some information round to the apartment. He was also happy for us to stay well beyond the advertised 10am check-out time, as our flight wasn't until 5pm - though I assume that wouldn't have been possible if new guests had been arriving that day. Finally, a restaurant tip - we really enjoyed Del Borgo on St...
