The Authentic Place

The apartment itself is modern, comfortable and nicely decorated. Very convenient with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The cleaning was not up to par as there has not been a deep clean made for awhile and we found hair in one of the bathrooms.

Unfortunately , the owner had not put any information or any pictures of the massive construction work going on outside. The apartment is in the middle of the construction site, and at one point the closed the whole road whereas we even had a hard time getting in to the apartment, let alone grab a taxi. We booked this apartment due to the nice view and area that is shown on the website, but this is not the reality of how it looks like at this point in time. If we would have been aware of this, we would definitely have booked something else as this really made the stay less enjoyable (this was a 70th birthday gift to my mom). I am sure that it will look great when it is finalized, but if you care about the surrounding area you should consider booking elsewhere until the work is done.

L'hôte est Super accueillant, il nous a offert une bouteille de vin. L'appartement est agréable, propre et très bien situé. Très bonne expérience !

Juste les travaux en bas mais c'est tomporaire.

This property exceeded expectations regarding the comfort and experience! The books that were compiled regarding area activities and the artwork used in the apartment definitely added to the experience.

Valletta seems to have construction going everywhere, and this location is no exception. The walk into the old city of Valletta was not as convenient as we had hoped due to the craziness of the streets on the island.

I liked the place and location was great. The attitude was amazing. You really feel welcome at that place! It was also very nice to find some socket adapters at the apartment, so need to worry about it.

It was a bit difficult to put proper setting on air conditioning. And just some observation - there might be standing clothes hanger next to the door so you can place there some staff and also some shelves or cabinets would be very useful in the bathrooms

Lokalizacja

This apartment is perfectly placed having superb views of Msida Marina in one direction and the islands residential vista in the opposite direction. Transportation of every kind was available within a short walk to the island attractions as well as the airport. The apartment has a great balcony overlooking the busy but fascinating centre of Msida but when closing the balcony doors to retire to bed it was both quiet and comfortable in the air conditioned bedrooms. The host made us most welcome and the information booklet detailing places to visit and the various restaurants was very informative. The welcome pack including a bottle of wine was a nice touch.

The kitchen lacked a good food preparation area, however as we intended to eat out every day this was not a problem. There are some road works below the apartment which provided us with additional visual interest however some may find this less appealing.

It was really well furnished apartment, with the beautiful view on the church. And we were welcomed with the letter, guide book and a bottle of wine which was just very nice:) beds were also very comfortable

There were some problems with flashing and construction works behind the window but it was temporary problem I guess

Lovely, clean and well presented apartment overlooking the marina and church. Inside looked just like the photos online. Handy for buses and some good local amenities. Aircon in the bedrooms and comfy beds. Hosts provided coffee and tea and welcome bottles of wine and water. The apartment was quiet inside and towels and bedding were supplied for our stay, as well as toiletries.

On arrival in the early hours the lift wasn’t working nor the lights in the entrance lobby and stairwell. The apartment is on the 5th floor so was difficult to get the cases up the stairs, especially in pitch darkness. This was rectified following a message sent via the app. but no actual responses received. Unfortunately, both went off again 48 hours later. Again, it was fixed the following day but meant there was lots of climbing of stairs we didn’t expect and no apologies or explanation from the hosts. Even more disappointingly, there are major roadworks outside the apartment which must have been started some time ago and are planned for many months to come. This meant the beautiful balcony and view were not able to be appreciated in the daytime due to noise and dust. We were not informed of this in advance and I must admit I wouldn’t have booked the place if I had of known. The view was a massive selling point for me as was the balcony for relaxing breakfast, lunch and evening drinks for example. None of which we had.

The Authentic Place, even if the name grates a little, is the best apartment my wife and I have ever rented across Europe. It’s spacious, well fitted out and has several small touches that show the owners really care. There’s a bit of traffic noise at the front but the bedrooms at the back are very quiet. The location is near the main yacht marina in Valletta and the nearest bus stop is only 100 metres away. Frequent buses take only ten minutes to get to the old city. Plenty of convenience stores and cafes nearby, and a couple of decent restaurants as well. Chris and Neil were extremely helpful and responded very promptly and effectively to a small query we had before we arrived.

Nothing really.
