We had a very nice stay at Joan's apartment, the location is fabulous and the balcony is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the views of the bay. The lift is great for days that you do not want to climb the steps. As others have said, the apartment is clean but would benefit from some updates. The owner was very responsive to fix some issues with the air conditioner and bathroom as soon as we reported them. Some of the best views in Gozo and Malta are within walking distance, it's a lovely hike along the cliffs heading east from Xlendi Bay. We found the bus system easy to use and reliable to get around the island. Shopping and groceries are pretty limited in Xlendi but it's a short bus ride to Victoria which has all you could ask for.
