Looking for a 1 Bedroom in Sliema

Hello Soulman.

Welcome to Expat.com!

For the accommodation, your should post an advert in the housing in Malta section. It shall help.

Good luck in your research,
Aurélie

Thanks a lot, just did that too Hope I get some replies hehe, though it looks quite silent on many of the similare threads

Hi Soulman,

welcome to the forum.

You are coming in the middle of the main tourist season. What you are looking for might not even be available for 300 €/week.

What area of Malta are you looking at and how long do you want to stay? I would advise you to get a cheap hotel and contact agencies on short term. With a bit of luck you might get a place in one of the villages or on Gozo.

Maybe sharing an appartment is an option. Check out ' Housing' on this forum.

Cheers
Ricky

Hi, ok 300 a week haha, thats crazy I pay 800 for a luxury villa (long term) in Cyprus at the moment I can go up to €400 monthly if needed, but thats also the max for me, unless the rent is including utilities, which I presume not (dont know how its done on Malta)

I am looking for something short term as in 1-2 months my wife and kid will be joining me and then we will rent a longterm house or flat for the purposes, and I dont want to meanwhile to pay 7-800-900 for something that I wont use until they arrive.

I am looking for something in sliema or around that area, not far away from everything, if thats possible. Or at least somewhere where the is a decent busss service available that can get me there when needed.

I dont think room/flat-sharing is an option as I got a dog.

Hi Soulman,

the dog will just about knock you out of the market here. Whether short or long term.

If you stick to Sliema for 1 or 2 months it will be very difficult. As I said that counts as holiday rental here and it is high season. Neither 3 or 400 € rent/month will be including utilities. Any rental will also mean 1 months rent safety deposit and deposit on utilities and agents fees if you go through an agent. A luxury villa in Malta will cost from 2000 € upwards! Can you send me details about your villa as we were thinking of moving to Cyprus ourselves. Why are you leaving Cyprus?

But I will keep my ears open.

Sure, I will pm you.

I think you are going to struggle to find anything that cheap in Sliema. I have a modest flat away from the seafront which is €550 a month plus €100 for utilities. I was originally looking for something for 400 and there was nothing. You may have better luck in Msida or Gzira, but for just two months (I'm on a six-month contract) the costs are likely to be higher as this is a popular area.
Have you considered the South of the island? Think it's cheaper down there!
