The location of this apartment is great - a beautiful old building around the corner from central Valletta. My partner and I stayed here for 7 nights with no major problems. However, there were a few things I was unhappy about with the apartment.
Firstly, on first sight it was tidy, but it was dusty! Every room had a collection of dust in the corner. Combined with the mustiness of an old building, it isn’t ideal.
Secondly, although there is a washing machine and dishwasher, there are no detergents to use. You need to buy your own, which is wasteful for short-term stays. Similarly, they provide bedside lamps, but no lightbulbs included.
Thirdly, the furnishings are not comfortable. The mattresses are very hard, for example. Also, they did not provide enough towels (important considering the lack of washing detergent). It is also a noisy apartment with lots of echoes. The windows should be kept closed at night to minimise street sounds disturbing you.
Finally, there is a check-in fee, a check-out fee, and a cap on electricity usage. I was charged for check-out which was just me leaving the key in the main entrance - this seems unfair.
Check-in was very pleasant with John showing us around the apartment and giving some useful tips for local travel and sightseeing.
The cap on „free“ electricity is a bit bizarre.
On the whole, the apartment did not have a negative impact on the holiday, but a lot of minor things made it less enjoyable.
P.S. the bakery next door makes delicious bread perfect for breakfast!
