This is a great location to explore Malta from. It is in a residential area so it feels like an authentic experience of Maltese living, yet it is only a 10 minute walk to the Waterfront where there are about 10 restaurants to choose from, and 10 minutes walk to the city gate to explore Valetta or to catch a bus to other parts of the country. The green grocer across the street sells delicious fresh fruit and veg.
Ian was great with prompt communication and meeting us at the apartment to give an overview of the apartment and orientation. He was also there in 5 mins when we were having problems logging onto the WiFi. From then on it worked perfectly. The washing machine also worked well and clothes dry very quickly with the cross flow of air on the balcony.
The only negative about the apartment was the smell from the bathroom. All of the waste pipes had an awful smell, especially whilst being used and the toilet had a furry coating that some bleach cleaner would probably fix. Also, the shower could only be used as a hand held because the hose was not long enough. As soon as you put the shower head on the hook the water is cut off.
Other than that, the apartment is a comfortable size with plenty of storage room for clothes and luggage. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the tiny balcony watching the street life pass by.
