The apartment was spacious, comfortable, well set out and suitably equipped, with beautiful views across the bay from the front balcony. Communications with the hosts, Ruth and Neville, were very warm and friendly. We did have a couple of minor problems, which were sorted out promptly and efficiently. We would definitely stay here again.
Very clean and spacious apartment! The high ceilings are wonderful, air conditioning works great (only needed it on the hottest nights as the sea breeze is lovely). Balcony view is FANTASTIC, and there is plenty of room for a family in bedrooms. Plumbing works fine, large kitchen very well equipped. Great cafe nearby; multiple restaurants and bus stops within easy walking distance; Convenience Store has water, ice-cream and essentials; fresh fruit and vegetable stand there as well. Internet worked fine, cable tv reception was only thing that wasnât perfect. Highly recommend these attentive landlords! 5 Stars
Wir - fĂŒnf Erwachsene - hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in diesem Apartment. Alles war bestens vorbereitet, vom Handtuch, BettwĂ€sche ĂŒber KĂŒcheneinrichtung, Toilettenpapier, alles makellos sauber. 3 bequeme Schlafzimmer mit guten Matratzen und Kopfkissen zu einem ruhigen NachbargrundstĂŒck, in der KĂŒche, dem Wohnzimmer und der Terrasse/Balkon je einen groĂen Tisch mit genĂŒgend StĂŒhlen, ein herrlicher Blick mit Nachmittags-/Abendsonne ĂŒber die Bay. Bemerkenswert: Wir bekamen immer einen Parkplatz fast direkt vor der HaustĂŒr, eine wirkliche Besonderheit in Malta, wo ParkplĂ€tze eher Mangelware sind. WLAN klappte hervorragend, den Fernseher haben wir nicht gebraucht, er hatte beim VorfĂŒhren durch Herrn Galea aber sehr viele KanĂ€le und Sprachen.
Ein ĂŒberaus herzlicher Empfang mit Wasser und Rotwein. Der Check-in mit SchlĂŒsselsafe klappte prima, auch war jede Art der Kommunikation via mail und whatsapp ausgezeichnet. Wir hĂ€tten immer um Hilfe bitten können, da aber alles bestens klappte, war das gar nicht nötig.
Wir können diese Wohnung nur wÀrmstens empfehlen.
This was our first time in Malta, we booked this apartment last minute, I must admit that the service and communication with owners were amazing, they helped us with taxis from the airport and back, taking stress away from us! Now the apartment was big,spacious and very clean, I can honestly say I have absolutely no negatives with this amazing apartment and the owners we will definitely be back and would highly recommend to our friends!! Thank you Ruth for making our first experience to Malta a beautiful happy one! We are forever grateful and canât wait too book with you again in 2020 đ
Ps you donât need 2 pin plugs all plug sockets are uk đ and the Internet connection around the whole apartment was surprisingly very very good!
We really enjoyed our stay the apartment was very clean, beds very comfortable. View over the harbour was lovely.
There are local shops and we hired a car and could get around easy.
They'res a lift to all floors which is handy.
Owners are lovely and the apartment was ready for us as soon as we arrived which was midday.
Perfect location in St Pauls Bay, overlooking the bay and promenade. Parking was easy, and always got a park either out the front or within 50metres of the apartment.
Spacious 4th Floor balcony apartment. 3 bedrooms, which was perfect for us as we were a couple, 2 kids and grandma.
2 bathrooms, both with shower, toilet and hand basin. Hot water was always plenty.
Kitchen with a full size fridge/freezer, gas stove top and gas oven, microwave etc. plenty of crockery and kitchen cooking items.
Balcony had a outdoor setting and a tiny BBQ, which made meal times good. Excellent view of the bay.
Checkin was great- we had a late and delayed flight into Malta and arrived at the apartment after midnight. We had prearranged via Neville and Ruth , a driver to meet us at the airport. He took our luggage and we followed him in the Hertz rental car. The agent, was polite and efficient and had some milk, bread, cheese, ham and coffee to see us thru for breakfast.
Our stay was comfortable, and the aircon and fans , and washing machine were appreciated. The location of the apartment was just right, and we drove around the island each day of our stay.
We would recommend for others to consider a stay at this apartment.
The only improvements would be for a small safe ( to store passports/ small valuables) and perhaps a dishwasher.
We had a great time in Malta. The weather was perfect when we arrived on June 1 (in the 70âs) and it got warmer (in mid 80âs) towards the end of the week. Maltese people were very friendly. We felt very safe.
Neville was wonderful. He waited for us and explained everything about the apartment and excursions. The view of the apartment was beautiful looking directly to the bay. The water was clear and clean. Neville and Ruth were so thoughtful. They had bread, ham, butter and milk in the fridge so we could have emergency food until we could go to the market and restaurants the next day. The bus stops were close by. We took the bus to the beach (15 minutes) and Valletta (45 minutes). The sidewalks were very narrow (except for the prominade) when we walked towards St. Paul town. One day there was a construction that it blocked both ways of traffic. The buses and regular traffics had to be rerouted using another way around the island. Malta infrastructures could not support all the developments.
Comino was beautiful with the Blue lagoon and the Crystal Lagoon. Do not miss the Sea Adventures catamaran to Comino. It was a whole day activity. We bought the discount tickets from Neville (17 euros instead of 20 euros). We took a ferry to Gozo (30 minutes to the ferry from the apartment) then on a hop on hop off bus. We also took the #41/#42 bus to Valletta. It was a big walled city. If you like history, you will enjoy Valletta. However, we like to stay at St. Paulâs Bay because it was quiet and near by the beach (15 minutes by bus). There were plenty of restaurants around (not as much as Valletta) that we could eat out every day.
The apartment was one of highlights of the trip. One suggestion for improvement- needs new mattresses because the foam mattresses were so uncomfortable.
Thank you Neville and Ruth for a wonderful stay in Malta.
Communication with the owners was excellent before our visit, albeit we never actually got to meet them. Their rep put on a very brave face when we arrived â at least 2 hours later than planned ! (Our satnav didnât work with the English names, so if you want to go to St Paulâs Bay, spell it Pawl !). She was very nice given that we arrived @ 0200 hrs, and the fact that she had bought us some basic foodstuffs was greatly appreciated.
The flat itself was very clean but a little on the basic side. The 3 bedrooms were spacious and well appointed. On the other hand, we did find the lounge a bit cramped, indeed on arrival we thought this was the ownerâs office ! That said, the flat had a very nice balcony overlooking the bay so no complaints there. The lounge was equipped with a 3 man sofa, table and chairs and a flat screen TV. It also had 2 butane gas heaters, which were a godsend as the March weather had taken a turn for the worse. The kitchen area was clean and tidy and well equipped with the usual appliances.
I think we were a little unfortunate in our timing as one of the adjacent flats was being renovated, so lots of early morning hammering and dust during the day. Future visitors wonât have to put up with that, but donât expect a Sunday lie-in as the dual carriageway to the rear of the bedrooms becomes a motor cycle race track during weekends as this road is the route to the Gozo ferry and is heavily utilized from early morning and evening at weekends.
Parking oneâs car outside the flat is very easy and we never struggled to find a slot â unlike the rest of the island which is awash with cars and impatient drivers. There is a small lift to all flats so access to and from was very easy and friendly to those with minor disabilities. I would think a wheelchair would fit in the lift, but you should check with the owners on this one !
Overall, would I stay there again? Most certainly. I think to sum up I would say that it was a basic holiday flat but with a lot going for it. The owners are good communicators, it has everything you need, itâs easy to access and has great views of St Paulâs bay. Definitely recommended.
