Gold could not have been any better located - directly across from the main promenade in Sliema (where all the bus tours etc leave from). The walk along the Promenade towards St Julians via the independence garden was beautiful. The main street of shops is close by and was very quiet in the evenings (January), however the noise in the bedrooms from the refrigeration equipment belonging to the restaurant below was a bit annoying (we did learn to sleep with it). I would also recommend this apartment for ease of access from airport (bus leaves from Ferries 3 across the road either X2 or TD14). Paul did arrange a transfer for us on arrival which was most helpful as our flight was not in until 11pm.
