Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Jolene’s flat, and with Jean they made sure that we had everything needed, but there was an initial issue with the cleanliness of the flat (more below).
The pictures of the listing properly represents the apartment, and it has a huge terrace with nice views of the hills, which is great. There is air conditioning in the 2 bedrooms.
There is not much around the flat (no supermarkets or restaurants) so you will need a car to get anywhere. There is a parking in the building that can fit 2 medium cars, which is convenient.
The beaches are a short 5min drive away and really nice. Going by foot would take 20min but is not doable due to the absence of sidewalk on the narrow Malta roads. Our personal favorite is the Riviera beach.
The only real issue was the initial flat cleanliness, which wasn’t great, notably the kitchen utensil that were sticky, and some of the basics were missing, like dish soap or dishwasher tablets. But what was really disappointing is that when we arrived, one of the beds was clearly used, with hair, sand and some marks on the sheets, which was really unpleasant.
To be fair, as soon as she knew, Jolene made all she could to repair the issue, sending a pair of new sheets (that we had to wash in the flat before using). But this doesn’t really made up from this first night.
Without the cleanliness issue, the rest was as advertised.
