First thing:
Appt on 2nd floor. Light on 1st floor flashed continuously – gave out after couple of days. Light on 2nd floor did not work at all so had to find and open door in pitch black with steep steps either side. Learned to have one person hold open door of lift for light while other unlocked door. Hard luck if you were alone
Pictures on website taken carefully so you could see nice view toward Valletta but not that the appt is on an extremely busy road junction. The noise was incessant and the Maltese do love their horns and screeching brakes. No chance of a peaceful sit on the balcony
The appt was not at all well equipped. Only our 3rd air b’n’b but by far the worst. I do not aim to cook on my hols, but kitchen space was so limited it was a logistical nightmare to just prepare some cereal and make a cuppa for breakfast. No bowl in the sink and it took me 2 days to find the plug – in the crockery cupboard. The chairs on the balcony had more holes than a sieve. Not so much as a spot of milk in the fridge for a cuppa, previous places had enough basics to get you going until you shopped!
Next:
Arrived Sunday, Monday morning building works started next door. Non stop banging and hammering other side of our wall. Texted owner asking whether she had another appt but she said not. Texted later to say noise was worse – no reply. Said we were thinking of moving out and she said not much point as there is building all over!! Next day my husband went to see builders, very nice and apologetic but they were only doing their job. They said it would be much quieter on the next day, which it was. We really feel owner should have known about this or at least come round to see how bad it was. She was not interested.
However, next morning I had a cold to tepid shower as hot water not working. Thank goodness it recovered on the following day. BUT then the toilet stopped working. Two days before owner sent someone to fix it!
I cannot recommend this apartment in any way.
To end on good points – bedroom was fine, there were lots of eating places and very friendly people. The weather was great!
