There's lots to like about James' place. It's got most things you will need for a short stay in Malta and the area of Sliema it's in is pretty and just a 10-15 walk to the Valletta ferry. Check in was super easy since we accessed the keys ourself from a safety deposit box and James had left a kind note with lots of info, a bottle of water and a bottle of wine. It was a lovely welcome.
The apartment isn't luxurious, but it is clean and well equipped. Overall, we were generally happy with the stay. Although we didn't meet in person, James was usually quick to respond to issues and extremely polite and friendly. Due to a couple of factors (namely the fact that we stayed over the Christmas holiday and due to an incident at the airport affecting guests staying at the hostel run by James), we were unfortunate in having to wait a little longer than we'd have liked for the problems we had to be addressed. But that was probably mostly our unlucky timing since we got the impression James is eager to help and ensure his guests have a pleasant stay.
