Josephine’s property is located about ten minutes walk from St. Julian’s in a reasonably quiet residential area where if renting a car it is easy to park. There is also a bus stop just across the road with a regular bus service to Valletta. Although the property is not huge it is plenty big enough for two people and can best be described as a studio with a kitchen in the front and a bathroom at the back. The property is very clean throughout. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need if you wish to prepare meals. There is a washing machine in the bathroom. Clothes can be dried on an extendable airer outside the bedroom window. There are nice views of the sea, palm trees and nature reserve from the property. We visited in December and humidity levels were high making the property a bit cool and damp especially at night. This is typical inside Maltese properties at this time of year and especially in those close to the sea. The property does have a combined air conditioner/heating unit attached to the wall which can be used to help with this. Josephine makes it very clear in the listing that electricity is paid for via a coin meter. The meter takes €1 and €2 coins and we used roughly €20 over our two week stay which did include using the heating on a couple of occasions.
Josephine was in contact with us the week or so before we arrived at the property and kindly asked if there was anything she could do for us, such as buying some groceries and making us a sandwich, as we were arriving on a Sunday evening. Josephine also advised us that she kept change for the coin meter. When we arrived at the property Josephine was there to greet us and kindly helped us carry our luggage up the stairs. Josephine was a very responsive host who provided fresh towels and bedding as soon as requested. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and to ensure that we were okay during our stay.
We highly recommend Josephine as a host and her property as a great base to stay in.
