Great hosts, convenient location near public transport, spacious terrace, comfortable stay, friendly and welcoming.
5.0 / 5.0
Second time staying here and it was just as fabulous. Great location for access to public transport, plenty of places to eat just on the door step. Edward and family are great hosts and very welcoming. There if you need them for anything but leave you alone to enjoy your stay. Apartment is very well appointed and makes for a comfortable stay. Terrace is outstanding. Would have no hesitation is staying here again.

Lovely studio at the top of the townhouse, very close to the hustle and bustle and all amenities.
There is a tight (ish) sprial staircase to climb to get to the room, but manageable with suitcase, excellent host

Spiral stair, what spiral stair.?
The apartment is tiny and accessed via a spiral stair so tight and steep it is nearly impossible to negotiate, especially with bags. This was strangely not mentioned on the website.
The hot water is a trickle which eventually arrived after a wait for the system to kick in, and the view is nil. Altogether a disappointing stay.

Enjoyable stay in Sliema
This was a very central property, only metres from the Sliema ferry. The property was very comfortable with a particularly spacious and well furnished terrace. Although forming the upper floor of the owners' house, it was private and you could come and go as you please. Edward and his family were very friendly and helpful whilst respecting our privacy. Highly recommended.

We stayed for a week and really enjoyed the appartment. The outside area is really nice with everything you need there. Also the location is fantastic, it is only a short walk to the Valletta ferry and to the bus stop. And allthough everything you need is so close by, the appartment itself is really quiet.
Edward and his family were really nice and helped us with all the questions we had.
Should we come back to Malta we would love to stay there again.
5.0 / 5.0
The property had a lot of character and had everything I needed - a nice little kitchen, great balcony/terrace, and an ideal location. The apartment is located within a couple of minutes' walk to the ferries where you can hop over to Valletta in a few minutes (a beautiful way to enter the city) or take a day trip to Gozo and Comino.
I am a light sleeper but slept very well here - the street was quiet. There is a nice coffee shop and a family run restaurant right across the street. There are plenty of other restaurants and shops close by.
The apartment is perfect for active couples or solo travelers. The owners made me feel very welcome and gave good directions before I arrived. I was able to take a bus from the airport to a stop just by the ferries near the apartment - easy!

Edward and his wife went out of their way to make our stay memorable
Very short walk to Sleima forshore and gateway to ferries, shops, street food, excellent restaurant over the road, shops and top end stores galore, never left Sleima except for tour around bay, all at the doorstep,

Compact apartment
The apartment is very small and compact but with everything you need for a holiday.A very comfortable bed and large,private sun terrace. The owner,Edward and his wife were very welcoming and helpful. The apartment is within a few minutes walk to ferries and local buses but there is a lot of building work going on at the moment making the resort looking a little untidy.

Perfect
Edward and family were great hosts, very friendly, gave great advise for local dining. Though they were mostly available, we could keep our privacy easily. The terrace is to die for. The place is well equipped. The location is great to discover the surroundings, 2 minutes to get to the ferry! Warmly recommend. Dori and Lennert

Excellent!
I had a wonderful stay at Edwards place. The location is excellent - right by the ferry lines and in the heart of sliema. Easy to walk lots of places or catch a bus or ferry. Edward stayed up late to greet me after my late flight in. He was also very quick to respond whenever I reached out. The apartment is well equipped, and the deck is AWESOME. Definitely recommend.

Great stay in Sliema!
This studio was perfect — great location (plenty to do in Sliema plus easy access to buses, ferries, etc) and lovely apartment. Beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the patio for soaking in the sun. Edward and his family were very helpful and accommodating. Great place!

Relaxing, comfortable, quiet accommodation within a stone's throw of the harbour
We were made very welcome by Edward and his family. The studio apartment at the top of the house offers peace and quiet, away from the bustle of Sliema. Very comfortable studio, with all amenities. The private rooftop patio is a real bonus, with a barbecue available. Access is by a steep staircase, which may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. We are in our late 60s and had no problems. Excellent restaurants very close by, a good supermarket within five minutes (Edward will provide directions), a perfect coffee bar opposite, a traditional baker just up the road and, of course, all the shops, bars etc of Sliema. Access from the airport is simple: the X2 bus (1.50 euros) drops you across the road. We particularly loved the easy access to the boats: the ferry to Valletta and the range of cruises on offer. Highly recommended.

Our stay at Edwards house in Sliema
We stayed at this property for 7 Days. The accommodation was very clean and easy to find. Due to the very hot weather we spent a lot of time relaxing on the Verandah which was private and very cool particularly in the early morning and late evening. The property was within easy access to the Hop-On Hop-Off buses and local amenities. We used the Ferry regularly to get to Valletta, which was very affordable and ran until early morning. Edward recommended the local supermarket, which was well stocked and catered to all our needs. Edward and his family were very friendly and were always on hand to give us advice on how to utilise our time to get the best out of our Malta experience. From the moment we booked Edward was available to answer our questions and provided comprehensive directions and guidance. A lovely family who made us feel at home.

Lovely apartment with spacious terrace.
We stayed for 4 days in late May. The apartment was clean, spacious and convenient for Sliema ferry to Valletta, buses, bars and restaurants. Considering the location it was surprising quiet when we sat out on the terrace, which has the sun in the afternoon and evening. Edward and his wife were very friendly and hospitable. We would definitely recommend this apartment if wishing to stay in this part of Malta.

Great studio in Sliema
We had a lovely stay in Edwards Studio apartment it was clean and well cared for and Edward and his wife were very pleasant and friendly. The balcony was great although we didn't use it much as there was a cold wind while we were there, I imagine in the summer you would spend a lot of time there relaxing . We will be returning to the studio at some time in the future

Great terrace!
The location is great for the ferry, buses to Valletta and to be near the 'strip' in Sliema. Then again if you are not the 'strip' kinds and want to get away from it all then this one is probably not it. Except the roof terrace which is wonderfully hidden away from view. The studio flat itself, unlike the rest of the house which you pass through to get to it, is modern rather than quaint.
A couple of offbeat tips: amidst the tourist traps on the main Sliema promenade the Labour Party Club bar is a little gem just metres from this flat. Simple place with real people. Sofra Kebab around the corner has a fantastic salad bar, you fill a small or large box for 4 or 6 euro respectively. Great tasting! For a nicer occasion check out l'Artist restaurant in the neighbourhood.
Thank you Edward, for the friendliness and letting us do a super late checkout on the evening of our flight - appreciated!

An ideal base.
My husband and I recently stayed in this property for a week. Edward was very helpful at the booking stage and provided us with useful information before we arrived.
The apartment is extremely clean and has everything you could need for self-catering. The outside terrace is a fabulous space-perfect for breakfast or relaxing. Edward and his family are lovely and are there if you have any queries or need information.
The last part of the stairs is narrow but only a little tricky when getting your luggage to and from the apartment.
The location is excellent as buses, tourist buses and ferries are all located at the bottom of the street. There are plenty of bars, shops and restaurants within easy walkng distance.

Great holiday apartment
Stayed for 14 nights and had a great time. The apartment is excellent, its location is 1st class, just a 2 mins walk from the main street. The sun terrace is amazing a really nice space to sit with a coffee or wine !!!!!, gets the sun from mid afternoon until it sets and its very private. The apartment has all the basic facilities that you need, loads of space even for a studio. It is a really quiet location even for being in a busy town, we had no issues with traffic noise at all.
The owner and his family are really lovely people, made us feel very welcome. They are around if you should need them for anything but leave you alone to enjoy your holiday.
The location of this apartment is ideal, you are only a few mins from the main seafront area where you will find all the buses and boats. There are plenty of shops, places to eat and bars within a 2-5 mins walk. 2 large supermarkets are 10 mins max away.
You can literally go anywhere on the Island from Sliema. The local bus service is very good, on time and loads of buses, some can be busy right enough but this wasn't really an issue for us. You can get a 7 day pass for 21 Euro which allows unlimited travel. The water taxi to Valletta is great and really reasonable priced - 2.80 euro return or you can get a 10 Euro - 7 day unrestricted pass. It runs from early morning until about midnight every day, every 30mins. Would recommend at least a few trips into Valletta.
There really is so much to do and see in Malta. We really enjoyed our time there. We will be back that's for sure as we ran out of time and still have loads of stuff that we want to go and see.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to family and friends it really is a great place to stay and this is down to Edward and his family's hospitality, we were sad when we had to come home.
