The standout of my stay here was undoubtedly the excellent location at the price. In one direction, you'll find the heart of Sliema's shopping district just a 10-minute walk away, and in the other direction, you're just a 15-minute walk away from the nightlife areas of St Julian's and Paceville. A 5-minute walk will take you to the Balluta Bay seafront. The location couldn't get much better.

The house is also very spacious, so you definitely won't feel claustrophobic here.

Fran and her mother were both friendly and generally quite prompt in addressing any issues during my stay also.

However there were some issues with the house. The water pressure of the showerhead was very low, and there was nothing separating the shower area from the bathroom floor. This made it impossible to shower without soaking much of the bathroom floor in the process.

The other issue was with the washer, which turned out to be semi-automatic. This means you manually have to fill it with water, both when you're washing and rinsing, and you then manually have to transfer them into the spin dry section. The whole process is laborious and time-consuming, so I ended up handwashing all of my clothes instead to save time and hassle.

On a more minor level, one of the double beds is also very squeaky, so can be noisy if you have a habit of tossing and turning during your sleep.

I think with some TLC and minor improvements though, such as the installation of a new showerhead and shower screen, an automatic washing machine, and updating of old furniture, this place has a lot of potential.

Overall though, the excellent location at the relatively low price makes this house a good and affordable choice for a stay in Malta.
