I loved Johnny's place, Casa Azzopardi, so much that I went back twice. The home is beautiful, a few hundred years old, and has been completing refurbished with care. There are all the amenities needed included a mini-kitchen in my room, a lovely large bathroom, a balcony, T.V. with lots of channels, WiFi, A/C AND a mini kitchenette where you can cook basic meals. I found it comfortable and home. The location is perfect, a five minute walk from Mdina, the Silent City, yet Rabat is full of life, where Maltese people actually live. There are grocery stores, a produce store, a fish store and bakeries within walking distance. Well known pattizzi and ice cream places are next door. A good cafe` with local food is on the corner. All the sites for Mdina and Rabat are within walking distance. Medina is a must see on your trip to Malta as are the temples. You can take cabs to other sites like the ancient temples, the cliffs and the Blue Grotto. Johnny gave me a helpful hint about a local concert during the feast of St. Paul. I think I may have been the only tourist at the concert, and I loved it. I was there during the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul which lasted 2-3 days, and there is quite a pageantry about it. Johnny is very caring and helpful. Thank you Johnny!
