Sliema Apt-Prime location 3BED by Homely

We stayed there as a family of five for one full week on November and the apartment was perfect for two parents and three teenage kids. The instructions for the keys were very detailed and clear, very easy to check-in. There are 4 beds - one huge bed in the master bedroom, one medium-sized bed in the second bedroom (around 120cm width), and two singles in the loft. All beds were comfortable with nice pillows and blankets and nightstands. All bedrooms had working air con also with heating option (but did not really use any of those options as it was a perfectly warm November week). Living room is huge with two couches, the dining table is large with lots of chairs. We had more space than we needed. The kitchen had enough plates, cups, bowls and utensils for our family. Small packets of salt and pepper were handy. There was a washing machine with two washing liquid pods and a dryer rack for air drying. The apartment is in an older building; it has a nice historic feel, very high ceilings (around 4m for sure), and is very sunny. It has two Maltese balconies, and the street outside is full of them. The location is quiet and felt safe. At the same time it is only a 6-minute walk to lively Balluta Bay and 10-15 minutes to the Sliema ferry terminal.

We were happy with our stay overall; however, there were a few minor points to note: – There was no air conditioning in the living room (a fan was provided). – The view was lovely, though the window could have been cleaner. – The family bathroom shower was quite tight and worn, so we mostly used the en-suite, which was more spacious. It would have been helpful to have bath mats or darker towels for stepping out of the shower, as well as a few more cleaning supplies (e.g. a broom), especially for a week-long stay. – We were surprised by mosquitoes even in November; a plug-in repeller might be useful, as the ceilings are very high. – Some noise from the street and the apartment above (notably the washing machine) was audible, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs. These were minor issues for us, and we did not contact the property manager about them during our stay.

Huge apartment for 4 people. Kitchen was fully equipped, living room had comfortable furniture and everything generally worked. Location is near a number of buses. Those taking public transport may find having to go to Valletta for most transfers annoying. Check-in and out were quite well communicated. Mgmt kindly allowed us a late checkout and early check-in to accommodate flight times.

Could have been more generous with bathroom supplies (eg Shampoo, bath gel and toilet paper). The pre check-in form really could use improvement. Filled it few times before it went thru, and still mgmt claimed they didn't receive it. Location of apt and some idea of check-in procedure would be good, esp after full pmt was made instead of leaving everything to day before. Overall, these were not big issues. We have a good stay overall.
