Thomas is a very responsive and helpful host. Check in is easy (electronic entry). The apartment is centrally located, a few streets back from the busy restaurant area of Spinola Bay. It is easy to get to Valletta by bus, and other tourist attractions as well. Other reviews mention the blacksmith across the street - if you are using the apartment as a home base while you tour during working hours, the blacksmith will not be an issue. The apartment is clean and exactly as it appears in the photos. Note that Malta is known for high humidity levels (rocky island surrounded by warmish water) which translates into feeling slightly clammy in the winter months due to the lack of heating/ventilation systems. Opening the window in the kitchen helped.
