When I booked Simons Apartment 4 months ago there were no reviews but I could see Simon was an airbnb newbie, but I liked the pics and took a chance.
My instincts proved correct as Simon has been 'mine host' for 30 years in the pub under the apartments and is well versed in customer service. The 'Pub" is not as we know it in the UK, more like a quiet bar, not rowdy, it's local, off the tourist track and has a small outside patio that people sit in, into late hours but we never heard a thing. Before I arrived from London, my companion arrived a day earlier, staying in a hotel, and Simon texted her with details how to get to the apartment before I arrived. He also arranged for me to be collected by Mercedes Taxi from the airport, and to it on leaving, so you see how we were very much cared for. The apartments are also on other rental sites, so though a stranger to airbnb, he has been renting and servicing his clean, modern apartments for years.

Our apartment ( Number 4, 2nd Floor ) was a 2 bedroom brightly decorated, cosy place to rest and wake up to. Brilliant kitchen, big glass table and unusual in apartments : a large amount of cutlery and utensils, a good coffee maker, and washing machine if you need it. The lounge and bedroom decor was modern and funky with plenty of wardrobe space and ceiling fans in every room ( we needed them in late summer humidity ). Perfect.

Simon's Apartments are just a few minutes walk from Buluta Bay, not so commercialised as main Sliema, with plenty of outside reasonably priced restaurants, and just a 10 minute walk to larger St Julien's Bay Marina. Perfect again. Simon was on hand with any teething problems we had and soon sorted them. Great hosting, excellent facilities and one of the best spots in Malta means you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.
