We had originally planned to stay in a hotel in Sliema but decided that we would prefer the home comforts offered by an apartment and we were pleased we did. After a long day of sightseeing we were grateful for the well equipped kitchen as we dined in most nights. The weather was bitterly cold throughout our stay and we really needed the aircon/heating units in the bedroom and the lounge.
The gas ran out one morning as we cooked breakfast but an email to Simon and his wife, which was responded to very quickly, meant that the problem had been sorted by our return that evening.
The location was good for us and we felt like locals by the end of our stay. The bus stop was a five minute walk, there were a couple of food shops locally and a supermarket 18 minutes away.
One thing we didn’t realise was that the photos on Airbnb relate to several apartments rented by Simon and we were surprised when we checked later that only two of the photos there related to ours. Having said that, we still enjoyed our stay.
