My family, 2 adults and 3 children aged 5, 2 and 8 months had a lovely time at Racheal's place when we stayed for a week in May. The apartment was spacious, and could easily accommodate 6 adults. It had plenty of space for the children to run around and the separate laundry room was great.
Amazing points:
- Racheal was great at check-in and her mother was amazing at check-out. Both processes were easy and check-out was completed the day before leaving the apartment as our flight from Malta was at 7am
- Apartment had 2 bathrooms, so it was very convenient for us
- All bedrooms were great sizes, and fit in a double/twin beds and wardrobes. So there was plenty of space for our luggage and was able to put away our suitcases
- Kitchen was well equipped and even had plastic bowls and cups for the children. This was a relief as we did not have to worry about them breaking anything
- Racheal also provided a high chair and cotbed, which some apartments do not
- Racheal also provided beach toys for us to take to the beach, so this saved us from having to buy toys that we wouldnt be able to take back to the UK
- There were plenty of towels for us to use - seems silly, but these little touches are worth noting
- Racheal provided plenty of toilet paper - seems a little silly to note this, but we have always had to go out and buy additional toilet paper in previous apartments
- There are 2 really good shops within 2 minutes walk, one that provides a good variety of fresh fruit and veg including amazing strawberries and the other provides a good variety of everyday essentials like fresh milk and bread
- The apartment is 7 mins walk from Bugibba Square, even with small children. So is a great location for somewhere quiet but convenient to the restaurants etc. We got take out from the restaurants on a few occasions and the food remained hot during the trip back to the apartment
- Racheal arranged our airport pick up and drop off and these went without a hitch
Small issue:
- Just be aware that there a several steps from the pavement to the front door of the apartment building. We had a lightweight pram which was easily carried up and down, so wasn't too much of an issue
