First and foremost, the location of Chris' townhouse was superb. We really enjoyed Senglea and the beautiful harbour. The rooftop terrace had unbelievable views and we enjoyed lots of time up there despite being winter in Malta. There are a lot of stairs to manage, but that was part of the charm of the place and wasn't a problem for us...although both my husband and I did almost fall one time each, so be careful with the narrow bits on the inside of the staircase. Our greeting from Silvanna was very pleasant and she was standing to greet us where the taxi dropped us off. She is a lovely lady and went beyond expectations one evening when there was some violence on the street and in the apartment next door. A lady next door had asked me to call the police because a man had hit her and her cell phone was damaged, so, I texted Silvanna wanting her advice as to what to do. She was at the house in less than two minutes with a male backup. She took care of the chaos very politely and efficiently. We were very pleased. The location of the apartment is also very close to the bus stop and ferry terminal which made using public transportation very easy. The apartment was very clean when we arrived and had most things we'd want in the kitchen to make the odd light meal. The cons, I would say, were that the apartment has seen better days and could use a refresh of paint, a cleaning of the sofa, and replacement of mattresses on the beds to begin. The beds were very uncomfortable to us, we tried them all, but they were all similar. The price of the rental I believed compensated for those things in a way. But, if I was paying a higher price like one would during high season, I would have expected a higher standard. I think with a little attention, this could be brought back to its former glory as seen in the photos. Because of the charm of the place, the location, the excellent communication, and an excellent local contact, I give it a 4/5.
