Ian's apartment is very well located, with just a 5 minute walk to the main bus terminal in Valletta and a 10 minute walk to Valletta centre. The street also has a couple convenience stores and a fresh produce store. The street seems to be pretty busy, which is great for people-watching but not so great when trying to sleep at 7 am.
The apartment is small but functional: the bathroom is large while the kitchen is quite tiny. It has everything you'd need for a short stay.
When I first arrived the wireless wasn't working but Ian had a friend come over within a few hours (on a Saturday evening) to fix it, which I was grateful for. However after that the Internet only worked intermittently and wouldn't work for at least a few hours every day.
Also, the listing says there is a dryer that can be used, but you dry your clothes by hanging them up on the lines inside the apartment or by using the clothes horse on the roof terrace; there isn't actually a tumble dryer.
Ian was a good host and besides the temperamental wireless, the apartment was a great place to stay in Malta.
