Our host was exceptionally welcoming, approachable and pleasant at all times. The apartment was wonderful, as described, with a fantastic location within Sliema. Access to numerous restaurants, boat trips, ferry, shops etc were all within a 5 / 10 minute walk. The neighbourhood is nice and kept very clean. There is some building work going on nearby but that seems to be the case wherever you go in Sliema at the moment and is not overly intrusive. Overall we had a wonderful trip to Malta which was greatly helped by the lovely, well maintained, spacious apartment we stayed in - highly recommended.
