My girlfriend and I spent a nice week at Alice place. Most of the things the other reviews said were absolutely right. We were picked up at the airport, what helped us a lot. It took us longer than we expected at the car rental service so Alice was not able to come herself and her husband came instead. They even had something to eat and a bottle of wine in the fridge - very nice. We felt very welcome at their place.
The apartment looked like it does on the pictures. The view from the terrace and out of the window facing the harbour is spectacular. It is worth mentioning that the terrace is reached trough steep metal stairs outside the apartment, so we didn't use it much.
There is a lot of room for two. The place was tidy. The cleanness on the other hand did not fully meet our requirements, especially in the kitchen. The dishes in the kitchen cupboards (cups, cutlery...) were dirty and we had to wash up before using them. I suppose they were left this way by the previous tenants and Alice and her husband just forgot to check thoroughly before renting out the apartment again.

The area around the house is not touristic at all, exactely what we were looking for. The huge port however makes the "Pretty Bay" not very charming for swimming or a day at the beach. The fishermans village Marsaxlokk on the other hand is very picturesque and the nearby (by car) St. Peters Pool is definitely worth a visit!
As we had a rental car we were very pleased to find parking space free of charge right next to the house.

The contact with Alice and her husband was nice. They responded very quickly and were of good help. At the end of our stay they were trusting and told us to just go and leave the keys.

All in all we were happy to stay in this apartment and we can recommend it to everyone who is looking for a nice stay far from the tourist masses. The lack of cleanness in the kitchen casts a little cloud over the overall impression but I am sure this was once only.
