This apartment was precisely as advertised. Ideal for low-key travelers who are ok with being two or three blocks away from the waterfront instead of being in some expensive, glitzy hotel. Being close to public transportation allowed us to visit Valletta, San Ġiljan, Paceville, Mdina, Tarxien, and more; proximity to the Sliema ferries means we also could easily have gone to see Gozo and Comino if we had had more time. Catherine is a delight; you can expect a warm welcome from a wonderful woman who makes you feel right at home without ever being intrusive. We generally woke up after she had left for work, and the simple but carefully prepared breakfast she left for us went a long way to make us feel welcome.
Backpackers and DIYers will be happy to know that Catherine supplies towels for you and allows you to use the kitchen if you want to cook for yourself, though eating out in Malta is so inexpensive that we found ourselves cooking less than usual.
Be aware that the bedroom itself is essentially just the bed. I have very little needs in terms of accommodation, but more demanding visitors may feel disappointed if they come in with inaccurate expectations.
