Mark is a kind host even if we haven’t met him (the key was in the lock box so the rest was messaging via the app.). He was kind and kept his phone on during the night just in case we had problems in checking in at 3am when we arrived.
The apartment is large and well equipped, which was useful since we had our baggage lost so we needed new clothes (and washed of course). The view is also nice; you can easily get to the beach park or walk around. There is a market 3 mins away where you can find basic things.
What we didn’t like: the cleaning service has lots of room of improvement. We found hair on the sheets and on the floor. One of the bathroom mirrors had toothpaste drops. The dressing was so dusty we had to wipe it with wet wipes (as said before - it was 3am when we arrived, pointless in trying to ask for new cleaning); the wifi signal is poor in the bedrooms; each of our 3 mornings implied severe noise from the neighbour above. It started at 6.30 am. Like he was banging the floor with a hammer for ours!! We knocked the door on the second morning but nobody answered. Mark said it’s off his control. We also asked Mark to either allow a late checkout or recommend a luggage storage place. He only allowed us to check out at 1pm instead of 12 and had no idea about the storage place. Are we the only ones requiring this service? We were able to find one in Sliema on Google. But we were disappointed he didn’t know or was able to advice.
