Carine is so sweet and helpful. She goes out of her way to be sure you are taken care of and enjoy your stay. She has extensive knowledge of the island so we could get ideas and go over all our plans each day. We liked that it was between old Valletta and the newer areas of Sliema, etc. This meant we could walk or bus in either direction. We relied on walking and public transport and this almost always was easy and frequent enough. We always felt safe in the area and walking/traveling around Malta. We would highly recommend it as a base and Malta as a destination!
