Positives
1.	Paula is a great communicator over AirBNB and a quick responder both in the pre-sale and whilst in residence. We stayed in apartment 9b Sonoli Court - 4th floor with fantastic sunrise sea view from its large balcony which catches the morning sun and is quite literally unbeatable. Street location is quiet from a traffic perspective for somewhere that is so close to the Sliema promenade.
2.	The flat is conveniently located both to walk in to Sliema or the promenade & NextApp bikes at end of street.
3.	Convenient parking at Fort Cambridge Car Park opposite.
4.	Sharon who did our post 21:30 (€35 charged in cash) checkin was very pleasant but had not checked the apartment pre check-in.
Negatives
1.	Whilst substantially as described, most of the accessory furnishings shown in the pictures (planters and vases etc) are gone leaving it a little sterile. The apartment walls are scuffed and need painting after a summer of tourist suitcase bashing and mosquito squashing (think blood smears on wall) which is fairly unpleasant.
2.	IKEA Beds – no problem, but the mattresses don’t have toppers and are uncomfortable as a result. I put the duvet under the fitted sheet to get an ok nights sleep …
3.	Dirty – Despite my asking for a deep clean before booking & it being promised, there was thick dust on the skirting boards, some kitchen cutlery and plates were dirty and two of the provided towels smelled bad - solved by washing them with the detergent I went out to buy. The washing machine had also not been cleaned and was full of other peoples hair.
4.	Some stuff in the kitchen was missing. Paola solved this for me quickly replacing a frying pan that was beyond repair and providing a missing chopping board and replacing a broken knife, with used items from another apartment in the block.
5.	There is limited maintenance done unless people specifically complain - Six light bulbs were not working – Paola did replace them over the period of the stay.
6.	Internet is awful, especially in the evening when I suspect all the occupants of the building share it –if you are trying to work it will make it a no stay location– I’m talking about not being able to get to google. Had to use 4G.
7.	There is a lot of noise from people in the building at night in the stairwell and from the flat above - enough to wake us daily.
8.	Entrance hallway paint is literally peeling away on the underside of the stairs.
Unfortunately therefore I wouldn’t come back or recommend Paola as a host to other guests, however polite and quick she is as a communicator.
