Michael's place is a stylish, quiet oasis in the center of bustling end of Sliema (near to St. Julians). That's the good news - you have serenity in one direction, and a bar and nightlife scene in the other. The bus service is close and convenient. There is a nice mini-market (college market) that roasts chickens and has fresh produce and lots of nice wines just around the corner. There are also many sea-facing restaurants nearby. The place itself has local character, it is comfortable and nicely decorated. The bed is firm. The shower is good. We have stayed here twice, and will always stay here when we are in Malta if it is available. Don't miss this place.
