Olga's place was as described: spacious and impeccable in presentation. We were met by Olga's daughter who patiently waited for us as we did get lost driving around the area. (However, it must be stated, once we understood our whereabouts, the location, whilst busy, was easy to locate). We were shown around the apartment and our stay was very comfortable.
St Julian is is busy with restaurants and clubs although we visited off-peak season and Sliema is a quieter nearby town, about 30-40 minutes walk away. Olga gave some guidance on local places to eat/visit which proved very helpful. Driving around the island allowed us to explore sleepy villages, fishing towns and enjoy a few coastal walks. There is plenty to see and do depending on personal preferences.
