    Nothing. Everything was perfect.

    Zen Apt was a great place to stay, price was pretty familiar, the inside was amazing, i’m sure it was greater than many of hotels i could rent. It was quiet, the way we took the apartment was amazing we didn't even had to meet with the owner or something, it was all on me and that was great!! Decoration of the apartment was amazing. 100% this place will be the first one i will try to book for the next time, i really hope they will have available apartment☺️ Thanks a lot the experience was amazing.

    I stayed at this apartment during my visit to Malta and overall had a good experience. The location is excellent close to everything (bus station, stores just around the corner, coffee place) but tucked away in a quiet area, which made it easy to relax. The kitchen was fully equipped, which was perfect. However, I did notice that while the bed sheets were clean, they had visible stains, which was a bit off-putting. Also, the mattress wasn’t very comfortable and could use an upgrade. Overall, it’s a good option if you're looking for peace and convenience, but there’s room for improvement in terms of comfort.

    The shower pressure was a little low, and we did have to restock the cleaning products near the start as they were quite low when we arrived. But overall the trip was incredible.

    Mariella is genuinely the nicest host in the world. Arrived to a beautiful, cool apartment after a long flight already stocked with cleaning products and two bottles of water. A nice area with bus stops to everywhere on the island a 10 min walk max. The bedroom had an aircon that was a life saver at night.

    I found the location ideal. Slightly off the busier areas and really well positioned if you like to walk, which I do. It was a short walk into Sliema & a nice walk to St Julian’s & Valletta. Really close to a couple of convenience stores which was really handy. The apartment was really well equipped. Really clean & a nice size. The host was wonderful, great communication before and during and going out of her way to meet my needs and make my stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

    Me personally, I do not watch TV at all, but for the future guests the TV, which I tried, but could not tune, could be a dissapointment.

    The location was good. The interesting parts of the city are in the neighbourhood. The excellent cafe "Buzy Bee" in 5 minute walking distance. Several supermarkts, shopping at the waterfront Sliema, buzzing with nightlife, also in the few minutes to walk. At home everything was okay. The bathroom and kitchen very clean, washmashine and dryer, other equipment functioning perfectly (one needs some tutorial for the washmashnine from the housekeeper). Wi-Fi quality perfect. I liked the electronis entrance key. To use the Bolt taxi was very convenient and cheap. You can use it to come to almost every part of the the island (that means, the whole country) in not more than 20 minutes and 20 euro.

    It is kind of far from the city center locations The apartment smells like an old apartment The couch is not comfortable to sit and watch TV. There is no hanger in the living room to hang our jackets or winter coats. There no curtain in the kitchen door. People from the apartment across the street could see inside the apartment.

    Easy check in Prompt response to our messages by the host

    Lots of cockroaches(6 to be exact), the shower cabin getting disattached from the frame, some tiles where not applied correctly and you could hear them when walking. The shower had poor adhesive with stains, the whole apartment had the smell of moisture/mold with the mold on the whole wall of the bedroom. The bed was a bit squicky and unstable with 2 normal and lots of small pillows you couldn't use and they were in the way(I don't know why is that). The AC remote is useless, can't change or turn off the AC(we were lucky that we had a phone with IR blaster and we could control it to our desired temperature). Every battery combination from the ones available was not helping to make the remote work. Also not inverter AC(they where turn on and off all the time and even changing temperatures in the middle of the night!!). Both TVs are unusable with no smart features or streaming services. Also there was a very very small bathroom bin, full in 2 days with 2 adults in the apartment.

    The apartment had a lot of new facilities like new oven, fridge, toaster, microwave, washing and drying machine(🤯) and very nice decorations. Also I think there were some automations like the lights turning on at night and off at day. Lots of thing to cook and make coffee (water heater and some spices). Very good soundproofing even though we where next to the street we couldn't hear a single noise.

    All was clean except the bed sheets didnt look like they got changed, but when we told the landlord she immediately came even though it was around midnight & she brought us new sheets,.. Also the shower cabin wasnt closing fully, there was a gap of few mm in between which made some water leakage, but not so drastic..

    The kitchen was big, there was Spar near the apartment so we did shop and cook our own food, there was little oil, salt & some spices in apartment already so that helped our cooking situation,.. The location was also good for travelling with buses, and even walking around exploring a bit of sea too nearby..

    No sitting room, sofa was in hallway with television on wall only a metre away. Faulty double adaptor in kitchen emitted smoke and a noxious smell when used. Shower cubicle very small with flick mixer tap impossible to avoid while showering, causing water to run very hot or very cold. Exposed electrical wires in more than one place. Extremely noisy location on very busy street. Unit definitely not sound proof with noise from neighbours very audible. Large amount of mould and degraded sealant in shower. Television in bedroom did not work

    Location closed to public transport and walk to Sliema. Well equipped good sized kitchen with good appliances.
