I would like to pass my best compliments to the host. Elein was super helpful, professional and polite through out our stay. Was always there to answer my questions in a matter of minutes, and picked us up from the airport. I usually travel alone with my girls, so it is super important for me to feel that there is someone else on the other end of the phone in the foreign country I am with small children.
We also loved the area the apartment is in. Isla is small romantic area with a beautiful exquisite harbor ( one of the most beautiful ones we have seen around in Malta) and the apartment is just a few minutes away. Its easy to get to the bust stop or the harbor, or a boat to Valetta. I did miss a supermarket or a shop that has bigger verity to choose from in one place ,but there are enough local shops with fresh meet or vegetables to chose from.
I think that apartment is great value for the money in the summer time. The harbor view is no doubt amazing with sunsets and cruise ships parking just outside the window. It is a little dated, but again I do think it has enough to feel good compared to the other places I stayed in. It has all the things needed and is clean. The biggest issue we had , and we kind of new we are getting into that in Malta coming in January, was the inside temperature. We did discuss with the owner that Maltese people are used to lower temperatures during winter time in the apartments, which are mainly adjusted for summer heats, but regardless it was too cold for my likening by far. There is no way you could stay there without heating if outside temperature is below +14. So even with the heating from the conditioner the temperatures in the apartment was not comfortable on the days when temperature outside was bellow 14. I think its imperative the apartment has an additional heater for the winter season with some more carpeting to walk on. It was also the only apartment who charged additionally for the heating out of everyone I contacted for my trip. You should also take a note that the water in the apartment is not suitable for drinking . Its good for cooking but not for drinking, I think it is also important the owners would have at a bottle of bottled water upon arrival , as finding out water is not drinkable when you are there in the evening and all the shops around you are closed is very inconvenient. Regardless its just details. I would definitely recommend this place for the summer for sure, due to location and apartment view.
