Fran's house is centrally located in Tas - Sliema. Balluta bus stop is just a stone's throw away and you can easily get to nearly anywhere in Malta. But if you like walking as much as I do, here's the better part: you can walk to Sliema Ferries, St Julian's Spinola, or Paceville in between 15 and 20 mins! So, you get to all the buzzing areas with the shops, restaurants and nightlife so easily, while staying in a quiet and safe, typically Maltese neighbourhood! The flat is as described. All mod cons are there, it's super clean and tidy, and the lower terrace is amazing, featuring a lemon tree and a variety of herbal plants. For me, a wonderful place in which to start my day, having breakfast while soaking up the sun and the Maltese urban ambiance, and end it with a couple of cool drinks, planning what to do the next day. The bedroom is spacious, with a comfortable double bed and ample storage room. However, there is no window, but I shouldn't consider that a minus as this room is basically for those travelling solo I guess, or couples, who will be spending most of their time exploring rather than staying in the room! In any case there is plenty of natural light coming in when the room double door - with French shutters! - is open, so for me, it was not a problem at all. Fran, is a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful, but also very discreet, which I really appreciated. He tried to make me feel at home right from the first minute I arrived at his place, he would offer me food every time (!), he lent me a pair of Crocs - much needed after a day walking over 11 kms - and he even took my trolley bag downstairs when I was leaving! Staying at Fran's contributed to making my short holiday in Malta a rewarding experience. Gracias, Fran!
