Ian is a great and helpful host, even made an early check-in possible for us. The benefits and the few shortcomings of the apartment were well described in previous comments, so there were no surprises. Most major buslines from Valletta also stop within 100 m of the place, making it probably the most convenient starting point to any trips around the islands. The roof terrace is also great. Pretty much everything is within reach. If you don't plan to stay too much in your room during the day (and honestly, why would you...) and you are on a tight budget, this place if probably the best option for you. Otherwise, Ian's other apartments in the same building could provide good alternatives.
