Great location just a few streets back from the waterfront and the bus stops to Sliema and Valletta. There are some small local convenience stores nearby but a better selection of supermarkets is available in Sliema around Tower Road - Wellbees is large but unusually arranged over three floors with lifts and there is also a small Spar.
The apartment was very spacious and air conditioning was available in every room, good cross ventilation in hot weather is also available by leaving the windows open. The two double bedrooms and two bathrooms were excellent. However there was only space to seat three people on the sofa in the lounge, so an extra armchair would be useful if there are four people staying.
You will need to buy your own rubbish bags etc. There are lots of notices in the communal areas about the recycling days but unfortunately not about what can be recycled as this can between countries.
The apartment building has 12 rental flats, so it can get heavily occupied and noisy when groups of young people and families are in residence. The noise transfer between individual flats and from the internal staircase is quite bad and one flat was playing music until 7.30am. This is the main reason why I haven’t given a higher score. Probably best to request a top floor flat if you are going to stay here.
The glass in the ground floor entrance door was cracked and needed replacement.
Unlike other apartments I have stayed in, there was no handbook with useful details about the apartment and telephone numbers for local services. This would have avoided a lot of routine questions to the host about what to do in a power cut, how the TV/air con works etc. However our queries were responded to promptly.
