I cannot praise and thank Louise enough. This was my first trip to Malta, and I was made to feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I first contacted her. Louise arranged for me to be collected from the airport and let in to the apartment, and then came straight over to see me as soon as she could.

The apartment was very comfortable. It is quite small, but fine for one or two people. It was also spotlessly clean and fresh. I was very happy to see that there was tea and coffee for me in the fully to help myself to in the fully equipped kitchen.

If there is one very small thing I could mention, it is the front door step. I am a full time wheelchair user. There is a step at the front door of the apartment. This was not too difficult for me, as I have good upper body strength, and a light wheelchair. I only mention it because somebody with a heavy chair and/or less upper body strength might find it difficult. Once inside, the access is very easy.

Louise is a wonderful host. So kind, thoughtful and she and her partner did so much to help make my stay a comfortable and happy one. Sadly, did not feel well one one of my days on the island. I was extremely well looked after. They were only too happy to help me. I am very grateful that I was staying with such wonderful people.

On the other side of the bay is a little convenience shop (tea, coffee, snacks, soup, etc), a cafe/restaurant, and a fresh fruit and veg stall. There is a bus stop on each side of the bay. By the way, the buses are all easy to get on and off in a wheelchair. The capital city is about an hours bus ride from the apartment.

I am very glad I stayed here. It is a sweet, gentle place. The locals are very friendly, there is a happy feel about the area, and I felt welcome very quickly.

On a personal note, to Louise and Damien: thank very much for all your help. I am very grateful.
