I will start with the pros: the apartment is in a great location in Valletta, communication with the host was excellent, and the kitchen was very nice.
However, there were some noticeable problems with the apartment. When we arrived, there were large stains on the fitted sheet and pillows; I am not sure how whoever made the bed didn't see this. The shower in the apartment is also extremely small - smaller than the common European-style quarter circle shower. I am six feet tall and skinny; in order to reach down to pick up my shampoo I had to open the shower doors and I frequently hit my elbows in the shower. The hair dryer in the apartment was also practically unusable; we had to firmly hold the plug into the socket to have it work sporadically. The apartment is also on the first floor on the street and was quite noisy in the mornings. There were definitely some nice things to the apartment but overall we were disappointed.
