We unfortunately did not have a very comfortable stay the advert said newly refurbished and this was not the case. We found the sofas too uncomfortable and even found a silverfish under one of the cushions. We asked for and got (very quickly) extra foam pads to help make them more acceptable. We were unable to watch any English speaking TV we have been to Marsaskala over 30 times over the years and this was the worst apartment we have ever stayed in. It wouldn't take much to make good and I have informed the owner to this effect.
The location is awesome for bus travel around the Island and I'm sure that if you're literally using the place a a base and not intending to spend days in at home it would be OK.. Parking was a serious issue if you have a car but Malta isn't the easiest place to park but this area is bad for parking. Many apartments come with a garage which is really a must. If you are on a bus or wish to spend a lot of time at the harbour side it's great.
I really have had much thought and feel a little pained to write this as the hosts representative was lovely but the apartment description and furniture really need looking at and not because they are old but because they are awfully worn out
