This apartment is really conveniently located in Sliema. It’s round the corner from a number of cafe’s, shops and fast food places which we availed of after our late night flight arrival.
There is a Scotts supermarket chain and pharmacy right up the hill that was 5 mins walk away - This was really handy for stocking up on food for the apartment though we mainly just bought things for breakfast.
The apartment was comfortable with separate remote controlled air conditioning units for the living area and Bedroom. Modern decor all round and a secure block of apartments. There is an elevator to get to the second floor which our unit was on however there are a couple of steps first to reach the elevator so prepare to carry your case just a short distance upstairs.
Communication with the host was always quick with responses and clear information. Even when our flight was delayed they were understanding and reassured us this wouldn’t be an issue for the airport pickup we had arranged with host. When we landed in Malta at about 22:30 right in the pickup/drop off area was our ride. The airport collect and return service was about €20 each way which seemed fairly reasonable and was easier to arrange than using a local company.
There is a bus stop round the corner for each direction either towards Valletta or St Julians and a number of bus numbers we used. The nice thing about buses in Malta is that your ticket is valid for 2 hours from point of purchase so you can connect or even return back home after dinner for free on subsequent journeys if you are quick enough. When we visited in March, the bus fare was €1.50 but this will be more in the summer months. Be sure to have change or notes close enough to the cost of your tickets. There is no contactless payment on buses like Londoners are used to.
We used the Preluna hotel round the corner as a well established pickup and drop off point for a couple of tours we went on during our visit - Captain Morgans Best of Gozo and Comino tour and also the Game of Thrones filming location tour through Viator.
Overall we were very pleased with the location and service provided by the host and their driver.
