I really enjoyed my stay in the apartment of Santina, here in St. Julians. It is close to all amunities like Scotts supermarket (just 2 minutes walk), even a McCafe is just 3 minutes away - in Spinola bay, where you also have access to all bus routes. Baluta Bay - a small but sandy beach is just 10 minutes walk and if you don't mind stony beaches at the end of St. Julians bay you will find a spot for your bathing towel for sure. The water temperature is awesome, still 24 degrees and this at the begin of November.
The double room would really be big enough for two, but I enjoyed having it for me alone. The beds are long enough, which you don't get everywhere, which is sometimes an issue for tall people like me. The matrass is good, you get all linen, sheets, pillows, etc.
You can use the kitchen - everything there you need, including fridge, gas oven, microwave, even a toaster and water kettle is there.
Internet in my room is not the best, but I could use the desk in the kitchen for my jobinterviews via Skype, and enjoy some fresh air on the veranda with my touchpad.
Although Santina is a smoker you hardly will smell it, as there are always nice tasting candles spreading their aroma.
Blue, the gorgeous cat of Santina, is special. Sometimes he likes to beg for attention, and that in a way you hardly can resist him. He also enjoys the little fight, after he got enough tender loving care, but he is not a rude fighter, if you tell him to stop - he will do so - as long as you stop moving too ;-)
All in all I can highly recomment staying in Santinas apartmen to anyone who enjoys a calm, quiet stay and I wish Santina and Blue all the best for their future and good luck during renovation and then lots of fun with the newly made kitchen.
