We stayed at Doreen's place for four weeks and were absolutely happy with this house. It is a traditional Maltese house and we got an authentic Maltese living experience. There is a lot of space, a fantastic roof top, a small open court and best of all the traditional Maltese balcony that oversees the street. There are small shops within 50 meters where you find most things. Hamrun is very centrally located, within 10 minutes one gets to Valletta. One point to consider - there is no such thing as central heating in Malta. So if you are like me, used to cosy 23 degrees in winter then bring some warm socks and a fleece jacket when you come in the colder months. Doreen and Sonny were very helpful though and provided a gas heater, that helped a lot. I am very sensitive to noise and can say that I had no difficulties. But the house is exposed to street noise and one can hear the cars passing by. In the kitchen, the court and the children's room one wont't hear anything. I slept in the parent's room with the balcony (street side) and had no problem (95% of the time). Restaurants: don't rely too much on google. There are some nice places just on Triq San Gusepp which you won't find on the internet. For the posh places you need to go to Valletta or elsewhere.
For this house and for Doreen and Sonny I will give 5 stars plus <3!
