Dirk is a very nice host, who was friendly, helpful and responsive. The apartment is very nice, clean and quite close to Sliema and the ferry to Valletta (20 min walk). The only down side was that it’s right next to a very busy road. This makes the house very noisy, even at night and you can’t enjoy the balcony because of that. Which is a shame because the balcony is super nice and big.
