Nicolas was truly a great host-- helpful with everything from booking taxis for us from the airport to helping get a guide for a half day tour of the ancient sites on the Island. His place is very well kept and just as described-- the view from the deck is probably better than in the picture. We found it a nice 10 minute walk to the water taxi to Valetta-- and discovered a beautiful path through the old medieval streets to get there. Really scores highest marks from us!
