The apartment is beautiful. Light and airy, modern, clean. Comfortable furniture and mattresses. If you are a cook, the kitchen is well equipped, just no microwave. ;p)
The views of the bay are spectacular. The entire complex, pool, large lifts, safe, secure and clean throughout.
Close to all the northern Malta attractions.
Wolfgang is very responsive about all questions and sends very detailed information before your stay.
If you want to be off the grid and just enjoy a family holiday this is a good place, as there is no internet service.
There is a washing machine, pool loungers, plentiful towels and sheets, cleaning materials, everything
you could need in the apartment.
Cons:
There is noisy and dusty excavating/construction in front and another permit across the street – so it will
go on for a long time into the future. The noise is every day 7am to 5pm, except Sunday. If you are a digital nomad or want to do any work or streaming, internet it is NOT provided. Even the signal for Melita does not have a strong enough
signal in the apartment. So, you will have to create a hotspot on your phone. Unless you have unlimited data, you will burn through a lot of GB’s during your stay. And it can get quite costly. We assumed it was provided since every holiday rental in the 2022 digital age has internet. This was our mistake for not verifying before booking.
There is no manager on the ground to help with anything that goes wrong. the GO TV box quit working when we stayed there and the property administrator was not helpful. The GO
people refused to send a technician and told us to bring the box into a store - which we did not have a car and there is not a service center in town. This should have been taken care of by a designated person on the ground, as we felt it was not our responsibility – a frustrating situation. It would not have
been a problem if we had internet and we would have just used our Firestick for streaming. Obviously,
it was difficult for Wolfgang to get the situation fixed while in another country. ***He did end up compensating us for the money we burned through on the pre-paid phone. We appreciated that.
The location is up a very steep hill from the water/beach and an even longer into town. It looks like it is less than 2 blocks away, but more like a difficult kilometer walk up and down hills. So, if you have any knee or walking challenges, it will be difficult for walking. better to rent a car, but you can't use the garage. ;o)
