We loved the apartment! It's bigger than expected, clean, air conditioned, well decorated, and the sound system throughout the place is awesome. One problem is the shower pressure in the main bathroom is quite low but other than that it's perfect. Like others we experienced the noisy neighbours but obviously nothing Jo can do about that, and hopefully this was just bad timing and they aren't permanent residents. There isn't much in the way of a view from the apartment but location is ideal with Spinola Bay, Paceville and Balluta Bay within a few minutes walk, Sliema about 20 mins and pretty much anywhere on the island accessible from one of the many bus stops nearby. It's a steep walk back to the apartment though so we kept our fitness levels up! Jo was great as well - he greeted us with drinks on arrival, gave us tips and advice on the local area, and kept in touch to check everything going okay. Can't fault in any way as a host - thanks for being so accommodating.
*Tip - take a couple of DVDs or films on a device as there's no TV signal.
