Excellent location, very calm and confortable. The host is very kind and warm welcoming.

The host was extensively kind and accommodating

It wasn’t as accessible as we would have liked for a 70 year old (steps down to property)

First and most importantly, the flatlet is spotlessly clean and everything provided did work. You get access to a whole flat in the basement of a traditional Maltese style house. The architecture means that it will be naturally cool in summer and needed minimal heating when I was there in winter. Over midday the sun did shine into the flatlet through the small windows below the ceiling (see pictures). The flat has all basic equipment and owner Ryan is very friendly, efficient and responsive to requests for additional items. All my 'start-up' queries (items for the kitchen, a fan, etc) were dealt with to my fullest satisfaction. You are also given the use of the area around the pool. I enjoyed the presence of the many cats. There is plenty easy available on-street parking directly in front of the house which is a rare bonus. The overall price matches well what you get. I will be back next time if property is available.

Although the heating (via AC) did work in the kitchen/living room, the bedrooms remained a bit chilly. A simple fan to move the air around the flat helped with this. This situation is usual for traditional architecture for Malta in winter. The lower down position of the flatlet and small windows without a view to the outside might not suit everyone, I did not mind as I was busy otherwise. The level of 'comfort'/'luxury' of the flatlet itself (as shown realistically in the pictures) is rather around 6-7/10 and my overall rating of 8/10 reflects the many additional positive points described above.

the host was so welcoming & the apartment was perfect for what we needed

This is a spacious basement apartment with a separate entrance. The neighbourhood is calm and quiet. It includes two bedrooms, a living room and a washroom. The hosts are very nice, and they live upstairs. They made sure not to disturb us and assisted us whenever needed. The swimming pool was a very nice welcome for the hot summer, and we had it for ourselves during the entire stay.

It is better to have your own transport means since it is located a bit away from the public transport. (This was not an issue for us, since we had a rental car.)
