We stayed at Maya's place for a week in January. We were picked up from the airport and helped to feel very welcome. Our hosts worked hard to make sure we were aware of all the local information we needed and provided us with maps and guides to enhance our stay. Location is great for local ferry tours, buses, Valetta ferry crossing, local amenities and shopping. Local bakery next door and Italian cappuccino place around the corner.
We had the use of the kitchen and made several evening meals which was both a pleasure and saved us some cash!
The vibe at Maya's is leaning towards the hostel and youth market. It's a lovely place with attentive hosts but ma not suit someone looking for a very quiet space (however, Sliema would not be the best choice if this is you!)
Thanks Maya and team for all your efforts, I wish you every success!
