I think Johnny's place may be the best in Rabat! I liked it so much, I went back twice. The location is perfect, literally a 5 minute walk to Mdina, where I went often. Yet, Rabat, unlike the silent city of Mdina, is full of Maltese life where you get a feeling of true Maltese life. There are is a local grocery, a wonderful fruit and vegetable store and a great fish store within walking distance. Next door is a place famous for its pastizzi and ice cream. There is a great local on the corner and many cafes and bakeries nearby. Casa Azzopardi is within walking distance to ALL the sites of Rabat and Mdina. My room had a lovely balcony. It was spacious, comfortable, having all the modern convenience including a kitchenette, AC and Wifi. The building is just lovely. It is a very old Maltese home which Johnny refurbished beautifully--- the best of old and new. On top of all that, Johnny is the most wonderful, caring, helpful host. Thank you Johnny!
