My wife and I have been staying in this neighbourhood for four years and this was our second year with Carlo.
He has been making steady improvements to an already excellent location both to the aesthetics and the functionality of the space; the newly exposed stone walls are amazing! He is as responsive as ever, handling issues rapidly and with no fuss.
We visited about a month earlier than usual and, although the temperatures are chillier (in the teens), the mobile radiant heater takes the edge off nicely on even a middle setting.
The location is hard to beat; on top of the hill in Sliema, around the corner from the pharmacy, grocers and an excellent kebab place in the direction of the nearest bus stop and the Step-Down Bar and the Police Station in the other. The Leyland bus stop serves four bus routes ending in Valetta and, by walking 8 minutes past the Step-Down bar you reach the Balutta bus stop with service to the west and 7 minutes past the Police station to the Ferries bus stops (and Ferry Terminal) on the Strand. Between those two paths is an amazing breadth of interesting sights, restaurants and shopping to take in.
We had a great stay, again, at this wonderful location and would not hesitate to recommend Carlo to other travellers.
