Carlo was a great host, answering questions promptly and clearly explaining things. He met us at the apartment and even gave a ride to a store. The apartment is located in the center of Sliema. There are wonderful sea promenades north and south of the place reachable by foot within 10 min.
We went to Valletta, the main cultural attraction, by buses, there is a stop about 3 min walking distance away from the apartment and it takes about 20 min to reach Valetta. Malta is a cozy, friendly place. We were visiting during the coldest time in February, it was between 10C and 14C. Although we were prepared that there is no central heating in Malta and dressed properly, we were freezing anyway. All the museums are not heated at all, the restaurants are cold. Luckily, Carlo's apartment was warmer - with air conditioners in each bedroom set on heat and a small heater in the living room, it was fine. It was great to have a fast internet. We enjoyed our stay at Carlo's place.
