Alexiei was a great host—although I didn't meet him, he was quick to respond to my questions and even helped set me up with an internet key for my brief stay. His family were totally friendly, helpful, and generous, always making sure we were comfortable and well-taken care of. The apartment itself was great—just the perfect size for two, well-located in Valletta (three minutes' walk from the nearest spot to go swimming and right next door to a pub) and possibly the most fully-stocked apartment I've ever come across! If you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend bringing earplugs as there's some street noise in the morning (mostly birds and trucks) but it's otherwise a fabulous place to stay. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it!
