Ian's studio apartment is basic but comfortable and located very conveniently to the main Arriva bus terminal on the edge of Floriana and Valletta. The also neighborhood has a few pubs and stores selling basic food items, including a greengrocer right across the street, and if you arrive at a time when these aren't open (Saturday afternoons or Sundays) as I did it's still fairly easy to take buses to the supermarkets in Sliema or St Julian's.

Ian himself is friendly and easygoing but still attentive to his guests' needs, and was willing to offer suggestions and information on things to see and do in Malta.

It's worth keeping in mind that if you're a light sleeper there can be noise out on the street from a very early hour. This isn't a huge problem, though, and most travelers should find this apartment to be a very convenient location and a good value for their time in Malta.
