Marcus was probably the most responsive and incredibly hospitably host we have ever had on Airbnb. When something went wrong he responded within 15 minutes to my texts. He bought a brand new Pack n Play for our son to use, a new kettle, and new sheets for the bed. The apartment was in a great location and parking was surprisingly easy to find a few streets over, for free. The apartment itself was modern (new bathroom etc.) but oddly lacking in a cohesive sense of readiness (like it seemed like they were getting it ready to rent out but started renting it out a just a little too soon.)
I have listed to him the cons in a private message, so I truly believe that all of them will be addressed but just for transparency, the cleaning service was not great, the windows didn't have shades (which made for a lack of privacy in the bathroom because easily someone could see from the courtyard if they looked up, and also some brighter mornings), and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. But again, I think most everything we had problems with, Marcus is capable of correcting and based on his performance while we were there, he will correct everything.
Overall we enjoyed our stay in Malta. The city is wonderful and it's easy to rent a car and see the island in just a few days. This apartment is a great, super close location to downtown with none of the noise at night that one might expect being so centrally located.
