We were expecting a great stay in Malta since the listing has good reviews and Paola is a super host. However, we encountered some issues.
- The apartment doesn’t feel clean as reviews say, the rooms smell of mould and we found a couple of cockroaches in the living room and in the kitchen (alive). It should be noted that the apartment is in the basement and gets little ventilation.
- When we arrived the owner informed us that the shower was broken and internet wasn’t working, but that she would address both problems quickly. Instead, we only got internet after a few days and the shower was never fixed (you could only use the pipe without the shower head).
- The apartment does not have a private entrance as stated on Airbnb, so the owner was using the same entrance as us.
- We woke up one day with people (maybe clients) outside our room. It would have been nice to be informed.
At least, she apologized a lot for the inconveniences, also saying that she wasn’t feeling well and that she usually treats guests better.
The positive thing about this place is the location: 10 minutes walk from Paceville and in a quiet area.
