The layout is spacious. The furniture is functional. One lamp cannot work because the plug is European. Malta has UK standard plugs. Please bring a converter if you visit from Europe or North America).

The location is close to shopping, the ferry, bars, and restaurants, etc. It is also close to several good beach clubs.

The place is quiet and has a nice view.

Note that the apartment is on the ground floor. It would be easy to jump into the balcony from the street. People who are worried about a possible break-in should not rent it.

The pool is advertised as "Olympic size," but that's not the case. We appreciated having a pool. We used it frequently. However, it is not built for lap swimming. The total length could be 50m, but it is divided with a metal gate that is a barrier between the children and adult pools.

The laundry machine does not work correctly in that the door is leaking. The water splashed out and ran into the apartment. When we informed the landlord, they visited and advised us to "push it hard." It worked once, then leaked again. Several phone calls were necessary for someone to bring new bedsheets since ours were wet in the machine and could not be used. We then had to wash clothes by hand in the sink. This machine needs to be either repaired or replaced immediately.

TV: The remote controls did not work. Apparently, some people had removed the batteries. Even if so, then why don't they check the remote controls before letting out the apartment?
In theory, there was access to Netflix. However, we could not find it. Nobody explained anything to us in terms of electronics or anything else for that matter.

The doorknob had to be oiled. A mechanic came for that.

The sink knob broke in one of the bathrooms on the first day. It looked to us like it had not been adequately repaired.

The bathtub is low so that it is difficult to use without splashing water. A shower curtain would solve that problem.

Cleanliness: The toilet seats were not clean when we arrived. One toilet seemed not cleaned at all.

Bugs and ants are a sign that the place has not been adequately cleaned in a long time. The wallpaper comes off at different locations. There was a roach in the bathroom of the master bedroom.

Parking: I paid extra for parking, in cash and in advance. Three out of five nights, there was no parking available. I put the car in the driving area of the parking, always in fear that it would get towed overnight.

Pricey: I paid USD2'150 including parking, for six days. This translates into about USD350 / night. That's way too high for what has been offered.

We do not recommend either the landlord or the apartment.
