The apartment was big and spacious! The balcony looks over Xlendi bay (the view from the picture), but you have to crane your neck to the left to see it. Still, it is beautiful. (You can also see when buses come to the main stop, in case you're into bus-watching.) Everything was clean and in good working order. (We did not use the kitchen.) The shower did not get very hot, which was a bit of a shame. (This is probably not a problem in the hot summers, but it was a bit chilly (by Malta standards) during our stay!)

The location of the apartment within Xlendi is fine. Xlendi itself is really great -- beautiful sea views, ample walking options, great food, and only 3km to Victoria. I would definitely recommend staying in Xlendi (over Victoria)! We hiked out to the Azure Window, which was only 2 hours walk away along magnificent coast views. Xlendi Pleasure Cruises also organizes boat trips around Gozo and Camino, and they have free pick up, as their boat captain lives in Xlendi. Really -- a great place to stay, and a nice big apartment within it to stay at!

Communication before check in was very good. When we arrived, we were met warmly and given loads of advice, which was very helpful. The hosts have carefully curated a little library and brochure shelf in the entry of the apartment building, which is very helpful and informative! Wifi was fantastic, also! The hosts were very gracious and really helpful - they helped with luggage storage when we wanted to stay on Gozo until the late afternoon of our check out day.

Would recommend staying here -- really nice place! Great value if you have a group of friends (or family)! (We were a couple who stayed in the same bed, and we still thought it was still great value!)
