Reno is an accommodating and thoughtful host. He responded to most any message I sent (before and during the trip) with lightning speed. He knew I had a long journey and was arriving later in the afternoon, so he put some food in the refrigerator for me. Similarly , he helped me arrange for a taxi for my early-morning departure. The location was perfect for me, as I was conducting research in Mdina, which is just a short walk. The village of Rabat is very charming as well.
