The apartment is cool and airy. The bedroom is big with plenty of storage and a clean, comfortable bed. The living room is also large, with a big TV with internet access and comfortable sofa and chairs as well as a big dining table. The small balcony gets sun in the morning so is lovely for having breakfast outside. The apartment is on the edge of the, fairly smart, area of St Julians but also the slightly less smart Paceville. The area feels perfectly safe and the apartment has excellent security (you need to unlock two heavy doors before you get to the lift and the apartment itself). You can get pretty much anywhere on the island from the bus stops a few metres from the front door. St George's bay, with sand, (we'd recommend the restaurant 'La Plage' there) is 10 minutes walk away, there is an up-market shopping centre in St Julian's and Spinola Bay is just down the road. Walk along the coast road towards Sliema and there is really nice park running between the road and the coast. Pools cut into the rock for bathing and plenty of spots for sunbathing. Nice café too.
