Old Mint Penthouse

The apartment is described accurately and the photos reflect reality. It is spacious and comfortably furnished, with an east-west orientation with windows on two sides. The owner was responsive to our requests, for example to arrange airport transfers, and the clear information about access and security, complete with numerous close-up photos, was very much appreciated. The lift was a godsend. Previous guests had left behind dishwasher capsules; we left behind our laundry detergent baubles. The view from the sundeck, on top of the apartment, was captivating. The air-conditioning worked perfectly to provide a respite after a morning’s sightseeing and a backdrop to our afternoon siestas. The Spar supermarket is walking distance uphill and stocks all that you may need - food, both prepared and to cook, alcohol, milk & juice, bread and personal care items. Our large Spar branded shopping bags are in the bottom drawer under the cooktop. Washing machine worked like a dream. Location was one of our main criteria, and it did not disappoint - just be prepared for the ‘up & down’ terrain.

A few issues concerned us. The very rusty spiral staircase to the sundeck needs urgent work. The window and glass sliding balcony door locks need maintenance as we were unable to fully lock them. The bathroom vanity light has been poorly repaired with what looks like aluminium kitchen foil. We didn’t utilise the second bedroom which is accessed via a centuries-old stone spiral staircase - far too narrow to safely navigate with a suitcase of any reasonable size. The balcony plants were saved from a dying thirst with a few jugs of water. There is a chimney next to the sundeck that emits what I assume is black soot from a furnace or similar - which covers the living room balcony and then finds its way to the living room. We wondered for the first day or so why our feet and soles of shoes were black.

Sehr gute Lage, tolle Dachterrasse mit Blick über Stadt und Meer, großer Balkon, Klimaanlage funktioniert gut.

Der Rahmen des Spiegels im Badezimmer war abgeschlagen - sonst fällt mir nicht viel ein...

Lejlighedens stand og privat tagterrasse. Velfungerende aircondition i alle rum

Lidt upraktisk med er værelse ned af en stejl trappe, men det vidste vi på forhånd.

Close to the center, supermarket, big living-room, tv , terrasse, excellent view, balcony, air conditioner, all you need in thé kitchen and bathroom, lift, very comfortable bed, quiet. Very good communication with Paul.

One of the bedrooms, thé little one, with no view, thé window to a inner courtyard covered, with no possibility of fresh air, with smell and humidity ( I had a little bronchitis and I couldn't breath there), no ventilation except thé air conditioner., far from thé other rooms, not good for a child. Some ants and two huge brown bathroom cockroaches, in thé last morning. No smart tv. Quite expensive.

I went out to buy breakfast from local SPAR

Great, well equipped apartment at a perfect location with great views from the terrace and balcony. Everything within a short walking distance, bus station, ferries, supermarket, shops, pubs and everything. Could't have been better. Enjoyed our stay very much!

Excellent location to see Valetta and the island, superb view from the top of the building and a very spacious apartment

The second sleeping room was difficult to reach through a narrow staircase.
