I wish I could find a place like this everywhere I travel. Jean Paul’s place is like a really nice boutique hotel or guesthouse with a large communal kitchen. Or maybe like the most luxurious hostel ever. I assume the entire house has been recently renovated because everything looks new and pristine. Everything is high quality from the floor tiles to the lighting fixtures and all the furniture in between. There are a LOT of lighting options in the rooms, electric sockets everywhere including two sockets and two USB ports on each side of the bed. There were even two universal adapters in my room in case you forget to bring a UK adapter. My room and bathroom were both spacious and comfortable. Great bed. Also pretty quiet. There is no traffic or city noise at all and there’s good sound insulation between the other two or three rooms on each of the three floors. No cable or satellite TV, but NETFLIX is provided even if you don’t subscribe. Easy check in with a keypad code for the house and the room. Big kitchen with everything you need to cook plus bread, milk, juice, cookies, butter, yogurt, condiments, tea and coffee pods …. So obviously I highly recommend this place.
The only minor inconvenience is that parking can be a bit of a hassle everywhere in Sliema especially if you arrive at or return to the house after 5 pm. I stayed a week and took my car out for day trips 5 times. Twice I got lucky and found a spot right at the front door. One annoying evening I drove in circles for 30 minutes before finding a spot about 5 minutes away walking. Twice it took me 5-10 minutes to find a spot a few blocks from the house. But that’s Sliema. Still it’s better than Valletta for parking. But there are a couple of no parking spots in front of garages Justin few steps from the front door. So when you’re checking in you can park there for the time it takes to carry your bags inside rather than lug your luggage from wherever you might park.
