My friend and I stayed with Gui at his apartment for 5 days and we really enjoyed our stay. Gui answered all my messages to him promptly and he made arrangements for us to get the key when he could not meet us upon our arrival. The space is exactly as described and while it is not the flashiest place to stay, it was comfortable and clean for a great price. Gui was very welcoming and we enjoyed chatting to him in the evenings when we saw each other. Both my friend and I felt safe staying there as we were able to lock our room and we thought that Gui is a trustworthy guy.

The apartment is in a great location, it is only 5 minutes down to the waterfront where we went running every morning during our stay (and where there are lots of places to eat). It is also only a 10 minute walk up to the university where we were working - perfect for us. The only downside to our stay was that some of the surrounding streets around the apartment are not well lit and we felt a little bit vulnerable walking there at night. Please don't let this put you off because I think this would be an issue wherever you stay in Malta but it is something to be aware of.

Over all, we can't be more happy with our stay, Gui was warm and welcoming and the apartment suited our needs perfectly.
