What does affordable flat to rent in Malta even mean?

There are many articles and websites on the Internet suggesting that there are flats in Malta, nice flats at that, which cost less than 500 Euros. Exhibit A, your honor – http://onlytherightanswers.com/2019/07/12/affordable-flats-to-rent-in-malta/

Is a view in Malta too much to ask for? Apparently it costs $$$ more at least

Still, I’m not sure about it. May be it’s the summer. Maybe it’s because its 2019 already. I don’t know. All I can say is – rent in Malta is more expensive. A lot more expensive. I have seen nothing reasonable in a suitable place for less than 750. And that’s Buggiba, Qawra, St Paul’s bay, not even talking Sliema and St Julians where it’s all a grand or more in rent.

And there is more to think about – the deposit, the bills (be aware there a higher bills for silly foreigners who don’t know their rights).
