Mark is an excellent host, and very knowledgeable about Malta having lived here for so long. Apart from that very interesting guy with whom you can talk about whatever, but will let you have your space. Flat is in a really beautiful compound and the swimming pool is literally a meter away from the flat, so you can have a swim before breakfast or coffee. It is also located perfectly very near to the cute village where you can dine or shop but also 10mins from the port (there are fast ferries to Valletta and regular ones to Chirkewwa). All in all perfect choice and great for your budget. Definitely recommend
