Paul (Alexiei's father) was super friendly, welcoming and always available when we needed anything. The location is nice – right next to the lower barrakka gardens. The apartment itself is a large studio (not really a one bedroom as I initially thought) with a separate kitchen and bathroom. I would definitely recommend this place for a short stay as it has everything you'd need and the location is good. However it wasn't a great choice for our 5-week stay because the studio is located on the ground floor directly on the street, it's pretty dark (there's only one window - none in the kitchen or the bathroom) and humid (drying a load of laundry took us 4 days). We spent a lot of time in the
studio because we were working and it wasn't ideal. If you're just planning to be out and about, you should be fine.
