I met Alfonso at the airport after he offered a pick up service kindly with my flight being late arriving around 10pm.
Being able to talk to alfonso and ask questions about the area and island meant i could get some tips. He also suggested some local restaurants that were good and what was worth seeing, this continued during my trip when i could message him and get fairly quick responses and also checking up on how i am.
The aparment is clean, nice and has all the basics you need to live there. If you are from a european country there is plug adaptors already dotted around to fit the malta/english plug sockets. I only stayed for 3 nights but if you stayed longer youd likely have to pick up a few things.
The main reason i chose this place was location and it was the right decision. Sliema promanade was 2 minutes down the street right next to the main bus stops that will take you everywhere on the island including the north point for the ferry to gozo and comino. It was also direct access to the water taxi to Valletta and is part of the night bus route if you stay out late and want to avoid a taxi. It is around 15-25mins away from Valletta by bus or water taxi. Around 20mins away from the nightlife area of st juliens by bus and the bus to ferry up north is around an hour
