I never met Malcolm but I met his lovely mom.
So: The place is located on the hill 10 minutes walk from the Sliema bay and the ferry to Valleta. Right next to the bus stop and close to convenience store.
The place is traditional and huge. Gives you the feleing that ou live in Malta, not a hotel. 3 Bathrooms, 2 of them ensuits. 1 small balcony one big balcony and a big terrace. Nice full equipped kitchen and free water and beer from the host on our arrival!!!! The place was clean and simply put amazing value for money.
Will I go there again? Maybe. (definitely will go if I return as a big group)
Will I recommend to anyone? Definitely.
