I must say that Malta is a great holiday experience and it couldn't be any more perfect, all thanks to Jason. He is a great host who was welcoming all along our stay. We missed our stop when riding to the apartment from the airport and he came to our rescue (a huge thank you for that by the way Jason). The apartment itself is clean, spacious, has literally everything you need (even a barbecue set candles). You can watch a beautiful sunset from the balcony in the evenings. The beach is about 20 minutes walking from the apartment or about 10 minutes by bus (probably closer, but we always went to the one close to St.Julien's Bay. For anybody thinking of visiting Malta you should get a pair of comfortable swimming shoes since most of the beaches are rocky. Here are some things you might want to know if you are staying at this particular apartment.
1) Transport
*The best way to get to the apartment if by public transport is by X2 bus, it stops right next to the apartment at "Librerija" bus stop.
*If you want to ride to the beaches and along the coast the best stop would probably be "Gzira" (busses 12, 13, 202, 203) will take you to St.Julien's Bay and along the coast line. You can also go to Valletta from the same stop but the opposite direction using 12, 13 and 15 busses.
*Getting around the island might also be easier from the Mater Dei Hospital (there are a lot of busses that stop there)
2) Shops
*There are a couple of shops near by on the Triq tas-Sliema but I would personally recommend to go to either Gala Center (Triq Testaferrata) or Magic Village I think its called (on Triq l-Imsida)
*If you have the time I would highly recommend going to Tower Supermarket (High Street) or Scotts Supermarket (Triq Amery)
*You can get a lot of things at The Plaza Commercial Centre (Bisazza Street) and in the surrounding areas (there are a lot of shops)
3) Restaurants (most places are closed at 23:00 so watch out)
*If you are visiting the beach at the Ghadir bus stop you should definitely visit a place called Mint (watch out its only open till 16:00)
*Near Balluta bay there is a very nice restaurant Piccolo Padre
*If you are in Valletta I really recommend Nenu the Artisan Baker (St Dominic Street)
*If you are looking for something after 23:00 Cascata (Triq San Gorg) works 24/7
4) Sightseeing
*Valletta is a must (period)
*Mosta Dome is Beautiful
*Visit Gozo (just choose the best option for you and don't choose Luzzu Cruises)
