First off I want to say how amazingly helpful Vicky was.
She organised for a taxi for us from and to the airport. I highly recommend people do this as you know how much it will cost straight away and it is a nice and easy way to get to the apartment.
We wanted to hire a car for a day and were struggling to find somewhere as we needed an automatic and wanted it for the next day. When we asked Vicky if she new somewhere she went out of her way to find a car rental place and booked us a car. We were able to explore more of the island at our own pace which we wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. I actually highly recommend this to people. It was a great way to get out and about. Although driving in Malta can be interesting at times. :)
Also I managed to leave my nice new leather jacket from Florence at the apartment on our last day. Vicky organised for the taxi driver to go back, get the jacket and drop it off to us at the airport. Words can not express how grateful I was for this.
She really did go out of her way to help us during our stay.
As for the apartment it is exactly as the pictures say. It is lovely, nice, new and clean. You have everything you need including air conditioning which was very useful considering the heat and humidity during our stay.
It really was a home away from home and we actually struggled to leave on occasion. Staying in and relaxing seemed a lot better idea. :)
It is well located with an easy walk to the centre area of Sliema which has everything you need. There is a well stocked supermarket as well as a health food shop that has a good selection for the gluten or lactose intolerant. There are also a lot of great restaurants in the area. On the recommendation of the book in the Airplane we went to Ta'Kris. It had fantastic Maltese food at reasonable prices and good wine. Service was also very friendly if a bit slow at first although it was very busy and we were a bit lucky to get a table. I highly recommend it.
We had a fantastic time in Malta and in Vicky's apartment. I highly recommend it.
