The apartment is a great location, and easy walking distance to Mdina. The apartment was smaller than we imagined - the photos don't make it clear that it's a single room (bed, sofa and kitchen in same room with separate bathroom). The fridge and water boiler were noisy, and had to be unplugged at night time. It was very clean, but basic. We had no contact with Emmanuel before we arrived, so were unsure of when to arrive - but when we got there the room was ready and the lady who let us in and looked after us was very friendly and helpful. The hosts let themselves in each day to change the towels, which we were not expecting - but it was nice to have clean towels! As a base to explore Rabat and Mdina, it was good - just not characterful. The hosts left us a christmas cake, which was a nice touch.
