Read no further and book this Air BnB! :D My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay in Anna‘s and Ian‘s apartment and we cannot recommend it highly enough. We‘ll book again soon.
1. Communication: The communication was great! Anna sent us a list of really good recommendations regarding free-time activities, beaches, transport, shopping and restaurants. That was very helpful and considerate and we followed her advice quite a few times and we were not disappointed. She also checked with us after our arrival if everything is ok. When we had a technical issue (not Anna/Ian‘s fault, there was a power cut in the neighborhood for a few minutes), they responded quickly and even offered to come round to ensure that everything is ok.
2. The apartment: The apartment is exactly as beautiful as it looks in the photos. It‘s tastefully furnished and VERY clean. We had everything we needed (even a Malta travel guide) and felt right at home. In both rooms, there is airconditioning and a ceiling fan, so you can decide which way you want to cool down. And even though it is a busy area, you hear nothing once you are in bed and the windows are closed, which was remarkable. In addition to that they had two pillows per person (a soft one and a harder one) and a really good mattress, so you will have everything you need for a good night‘s sleep. Oh, and there were about 100 towels in the bathroom (I think 10 overall?), which we really liked!
3. Location: As you can see on G**gle maps, the area offers loads of nice restaurants, bars, pubs and shops. Therefore it naturally is a busy area, also at night. You can find about everything you need within a few steps. The supermarket is close by, and so is the bus terminal, from which you can reach every part of the island (and also the nice beaches!). We wanted a mix of relaxation, nature and culture, which we got with this location.
We had nothing to complain about and as I said will be visiting again next year.
