I had read the good reviews on Marisa and Steve's place but nothing came close to what we experienced. Marisa's responsiveness and helpful hints even before we made the booking was what drew us to their property. On arrival, Marisa gave me a ride to her place from St Julian's centre (which is about 4 - 6 minutes by car) and even did a 'mini-tour' to show me the nearby bus stops and convenience stores. Steve also went out of his way to drop me to a further stop so that I could catch a bus on time as I was running late on one of the days. Our whole stay at Marisa and Steve's was nothing short of amazing. They are such nice and hospitable people, easy to talk to and offering useful hints on where to go depending in what you are looking to do in Malta. It felt like a second home for us. Their house is sparkling clean, quiet and we had enough space to ourselves. The breakfast offering was great - a good and balanced variety of things to eat to your fill. The house is situated in a quiet area easy to get to via public transport and near St. Julians which was a plus for us. Next time we are in Malta we will definitely be staying with Marisa and Steve assuming there will be room for us :)
