We spent two weeks in this wonderful waterfront apartment in early February and recommend it highly. It is in a perfect location to visit sites all over the island by car-- reasonable distances, and much less traffic to deal with than if you were staying in the Valletta metropolitan area. Do be sure to have a good GPS in your car if you're driving here straightaway from the airport, as the roads are a little confusing your first few outings. Parking was always easy, just in front of the apartment. The balcony facing the water was one of our favorite places to hang out, both morning and late afternoon, even though it was a little chilly this time of year. Even though there is a street between the balcony and the water, there was never enough traffic to create noise or interfere with your enjoyment of the balcony. Can't speak to the summer and air conditioning, but very sufficient heat was provided by overhead units in the bedrooms and a propane heater in the living room. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable; the bathrooms are fine but be sure to read the handwritten note in the apartment booklet about how to magically increase the water pressure in the shower...it makes quite a difference! Having a washing machine in the second bathroom was extremely helpful, and the clothes drying rack worked perfectly in the afternoon breezes. Kitchen was well stocked for self-catering. Be aware that the apartment is on the third floor so there are four flights of stairs to walk up, but we are in our mid-60s and had no problems. Nearby grocery shopping was a little slim but two large supermarkets are within a 20-minute drive. There are good restaurants in walking distance, towards the head of the bay, about 10 minutes away, and of course the excellent Zonqor Point Restaurant is practically next door. Marsaskala is picturesque but enough off the main tourist track that you feel like you're in a little oasis of peace and tranquility, and also very safe. Thanks so much Dario (and also to your parents) for being so attentive and responsive to any needs we had... any email with a question was replied to within an hour if not minutes. We would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Malta.
