Mark is an amazing host. Very responsive and actually cares about you having the best experience. It's no joke when it says bright apartment. When we arrived, I said why are all the lights on...but quickly realized that it's just that bright! It was fantastic. Check in check out process was super simple. Kitchen was well stocked, living room has a smart TV as well as the bedroom which was a nice surprise. Wifi is pretty decent..might slow down a bit if too many devices are connected and streaming at the same time but for the most part, speed was good which was important to us. Bed is big and comfortable, and the blinds block out most of the light in the bedroom if you want to sleep in. Location is great.. quick walk and you are walking right along the bluest sea. Really neat restaurants nearby (Ichiban burgers, Kyoto bakery etc). Wellbees supermarket is a bit of a walk or at least it feels that way when you have heavy groceries in your hands. :)
Best thing was that the apartment was quiet. There was some construction going in that started around 8:30 AM but it seems you cannot escape construction in Malta. Construction everywhere :) Didn't bother us much since we got up and started our day by then anyway. First week of January, it gets a little chilly ..having a heating unit (part of the air con unit) was handy. Washer/dryer was super important to us. We bought some detergent and washed away the airplane germs as quickly as we could.
All in all, it was a great stay and I would highly recommend it. Mark, thanks again for everything. Cheers!
