Jurgen who manages the apartment was great. He organised our check in so it went smoothly, came to the apartment to meet us, and gave us some suggestions for places to eat around the area. The first thing that hits you when you arrive at the apartment is the incredible view from the balcony. The weather wasn’t very good during our stay but we made sure to make the most of the balcony at any opportunity.
The area itself is very quiet- I’m not sure if this was because we stayed during the winter months? You can easily get the ferry into Valletta but it stops running at around 7pm. However you can get a taxi back quiet easily for around 20 euros (that’s what we paid- maybe cheaper??).
However, we rated our overall stay three starts out of five. This was because there were some basic things that we felt could have been improved to make our stay perfect. The kitchen area is very basic, which is fine, but it’s not really equipped for cooking a proper meal. Also, the light in the stairwell that is also the kitchen area has been removed, so in the winter when it’s dark quite early, the kitchen is pitch black and almost impossible to use. We were also unable to get any hot water in the kitchen sink which made washing up difficult.
Another thing was that the bedsheets smelt very damp! This might seem like a small thing but it wasn’t pleasant. The lighting in the flat is also really not great. A few more lamps or stronger bulbs would be beneficial.
Finally, as other people have mentioned, the shower is not very good and does need improving. Either scorching hot or cold.
Therefore, if you’re looking for an apartment for a few nights with amazing views then this is the one. I think it would be perfect in the summer months when more things would be open and you’re guaranteed sun to be able to sit out on the balcony.
