This is a really beautiful and comfortable apartment in what I think is one of the best locations for both relaxing and exploring Malta. The kitchen, though small, is functional with a large fridge and good pantry storage - perfect for longer stays. There's a separate dining area and really comfortable lounge with Netflix and Youtube for the days you just want to chill out. The apartment also has one of the traditional window balconies which was lovely to sit at and watch people go by. It'd be lovely to have a little table and chairs out there... but I just dragged one out from the dining room. The bed was super comfy, the bathroom modern and sleek with good hot water, and the washing machine is in its own area with a large rack for drying clothes either inside or out on the back balcony.
The only tiny negative is that everything feels a bit damp - but that seems to be a Malta thing, not specific to this apartment. It's just good to be aware of. The apartment is also very cool - probably ideal in summer but I was there coming into winter, so some nights needed to put the heating on to remain comfortable. Very, very minor things that did not detract from how wonderful the place was.
I dealt with Ritianne throughout and she was wonderful - quick to respond to messages and helpful. She even provided me with some bread and biscuits on arrival and walked me to the nearest grocery store so I could get another few staples. When I needed some cooking utensils she arranged to get them for me quickly and nothing was too much trouble.
The location in Gzira is excellent. The X2 from the airport stops at Gzira stop at the end of the street and around the corner, just a couple of minutes walk. There are several other bus stops nearby in the other direction, and Ponsonby stop is also just a few minutes away to catch the TD2 express to the airport. The hop on hop off bus goes from about the same place, Sliema is about a ten minute stroll, from where you can get cruises and the Valletta ferry, and see gorgeous views of the Manoel fort and Valletta.
This is a perfect apartment and will be the place I'll be hoping to stay if I return to Malta.
