6/10
The flat is exactly as shown in the pictures, on the 2nd floor of a building without a lift. There is free outdoor parking and the host, Gaynor, was very helpful and caring, she satisfied all our requests. The flat is nice & clean but there are a few, perhaps less substantial issues. The sliding door to the balcony was really very heavy and we could hardly open it. The flat was missing the essentials for the kitchen & the bathroom, (no bath soap or shampoo -just hand soap, no selves in the shower or hangers), not even one bottle of water in the fridge (we arrived Friday night & everything was closed), just one old kitchen towel (with a hole) left, no sugar at all, although we were offered capsules for 4 coffees. Gaynor provided us with all above after our request. Although it's a self-catering apartment & not a hotel room, the traveler of a weekend, traveling with hand luggage only, would expect to find at least the essentials. About the hot tub: It was perfect! We found it full of warm water and we used it the very first night, after a tiring flight. BUT after the first use, it became dirty & we couldn't change the water. Gaynor came the next day in order to fill it with more chemicals, as the water changes once, before a guest's arrival only & the flat had a strong smell of chlorine, which was very unhealthy. So it turned out that the tub was not a good choice. Last but not least, the flat is very far from Valletta, Mdina, etc. You have to take a taxi to make the round of the gulf, about 1/2 hour ride, which costs about 22-26 euros one-way (each destination).
After all, I suppose that the flat would be a perfect choice for summer vacations, as a (rocky) beach is just across the street.
