Pros - Incredible location just outside of Valleta with easy access to buses to all parts of the island, lots of charm for a different experience, fantastic and responsive host who was quick to reply
Cons - Difficulty breathing due to air quality (mold?), insufficient towels for a week's stay, lack of sheets for second bedroom

Unfortunately, our stay at Clo's place was not what we'd hoped based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I have some issues with mold and allergies and found the air quality in the apartment to be terrible. I was unable to sleep in either of the back bedrooms and ended up sleeping on the couch in the front room where it was slightly better. We ended up leaving for the last couple of days of our trip and staying in a hotel in St. Julian's because it became too much of an issue for both me and my mom. Additionally, there was only one set of sheets (for the main double room) set out when we arrived because Clo had assumed we were a couple (when it was my mom and I). While I understand the confusion, I think if you're renting a 2 bedroom apartment, there should be sheets for both beds. We ended up finding a spare set tucked away that I was able to use on the couch. I also believe that if 2 guests are staying for 1 week, then 2 towels is not sufficient. By the time we gave up and left on Sunday, they did not smell nice and I was glad to go to fresh ones at the hotel.

Clo was fantastic leading up to the trip, but I would've liked more support when it was clear it wasn't working out for us. Unfortunately, even though the location is great, I can't recommend this apartment to anyone.
