Hello everyone -
I wanted to write a thorough review, because this appears to be the first review of this Airbnb. I hope it helps you all decide if this is a good fit for you. It's located on a moderately busy street in St. Julian's - you enter a door and go up a flight of stairs to the apartment.
Let's start with the good things:
Pros:
Location - easy to get bus right at front door, 5 minute walk to the quaint and beautiful Salina bay and boardwalk (magical at night); 20 minute walk to a small sandy beach for swimming (keep walking south on the boardwalk)
Open floor plan - big living room connects to kitchen. My family of 6 could easily eat dinner at the table.
Value - a great, low price for the location.
Cons:
A/C - only one bedroom unit worked! We were miserably hot...
Difficult check-in - I called the host to explain that we would be late due to traffic. She said that we would need to wait 2 more hours because I missed my designated time, and it was my mistake.
Sketchy internet - it kept kicking my kids off, and they had to use my personal phone's hotspot.
Couch bed - was broken and completely slanted. We asked the host and she just suggested to sleep with our heads on the higher side of the bed!
Location - 2 loud bars directly across the street.
Limited kitchen supplies - 2 juice glasses, 4 coffee cups, etc.
Final thoughts: This place is good for you if your group has 4 people or less and likes the party scene for a good value. However, I do not recommend this place for families.
