I found it very difficult to find a nice apartment somewhere close to a sand beach in Malta, that's also fairly priced. I assume it's mainly because the cities and villages are so packed together and the streets are so noisy and there only a few selected beaches.
In this context, this apartment is a gem: it's way bigger than the photos show, it has all the needed equipment and it's situated close to the biggest sandy beach of Malta, on a street that's wide and not very noisy and in front of the apartment there are fields and greenery. A perfect base to explore the north of the main island, Comino and Gozo. I used the bus to get around and it was simple and convenient. To/from the airport you have the X1 line (~1h) and to Valletta there are 3-4 bus lines that take you there in a bit more than 1h: fair enough for a day out in the city.
The communication with the host was perfect and she even took care to provide a printed mini-guide about the points of interest. Based on her recommendation, we took the day-trip to Comino which was one of the highlights of our stay.
