When we got this apartment, we got the whole package. The neighborhood, all the marvelous eating places and the icing on the cake was the local fiesta leading up to the 8th of September. This city has been populated since medieval times yet still proudly asserts itself in the 21st Centuy. Diane was absolutely marvelous. She assisted with luggage up the stairs and she made sure some essentials were waiting for us in the fridge including a bottle of wine, a gbeina and the very essential Maltese bread. We discovered a swimming location at the point of Senglea and was pleasantly surprised to see the pristine condition of the water in the harbour. We truly enjoyed the correspondence with Cristina before and during our stay, sorry we could not meet. But as we say in Australia, this is 'a real Beauty'.
