The flat is great, huge bathroom, cute balcony, plenty of storage. It's in a nice neighbourhood with a butcher, baker, cafe, etc. The waterfront is nearby, and it's an easy walk (with excellent views of the Three Cities) into Valletta.
Ian is a great landlord, friendly a very obliging - he got me a desk when I requested it, and got a friend to help when my computer went haywire.
I'd definitely recommend living here, short or longer term.
