GREAT LOCATION… AND THAT’S ABOUT IT
For sure the location and view are unbeatable in the central square of Mdina, the reception by Joanna very friendly, and the website description mostly accurate (although it really is for 2 rather than 3… tough to see where the third guest would sleep). However there are a number of negatives with this apartment. The environment is VERY noisy (passers-by until midnight if not 3 am, some truck traffic throughout the night, and the bells - however frinedly). As the apartment is not air-conditioned and it is quite hot in Malta in summer, you get a choice at night between opening windows/shutters for fresh air and get the noise, or close them and keep the heat ; the fans provided show their age and produce a disturbing growl. The downstairs dining room’s only real source of light is through the front door so it totally lacks privacy ; the stairs are so steep and narrow that you can’t really take suitcases upstairs beyond cabin size (great if you are a backpacker, but…) There is no real bathroom, just a shower tightly cramped below a staircase (don’t be too tall !) together with a small basin and no room for a real mirror ; both shower and toilet open into the kitchen… not too classy.
The WIFI is unreliable, and does not reach the upper floor.
All in all, an apartment unfortunately arranged at minimum cost in a space that would have been more than sufficient to make things great.
