The location was great for us. There were a good amount of buses coming by frequently and a few local shops for getting the essentials. The walk to the coast/docks was about 5 minutes where there's also a nice beach bar and plenty of chances to take a dive or just paddle! The walk to Bugibba is about 15 minutes and right along the water and there are restaurants along the walk and a nice square once you get into Bugibba, which has more restaurants. We took the bus 48 to Valetta on one day which took about 45 minutes- as there are ALOT of stops, but it was worth it and only 2euros. We also took the bus 221 to the ferry port to go to Mgarr - Gozo which again was 2 euros, and the ferry FREE to Gozo and 4.40 euros on the way back! (Id recommend a nice little off road trail if you google maps the walk from Mgarr to Hondoq ir Rummien- a beach, which is briefly along the ferry port but then goes all along the coast line).. We also took the bus to Mdina one day which again was super easy and you can plan it all on google maps as the bus routes are v reliable on here. All of these buses go to the bus stops right on the road of the apartment, or a two minute walk from here! The appartment was also great, a good amount of balconies for relaxing in the sun and great amenities. All around would recommend St. Pauls bay !
