My stay with Mazen (Natalia was away with the kids at the time) was beyond expectation from beginning to end. Communication, check-in, hospitality, cleanliness and everything in between was amazing, making it my best and most memorable Airbnb stay to date.
I was in Malta for a wedding so I had to check in very early just to leave my bags and obtain my keys. Mazen was very receptive and when I returned home at something like 3am, my bags were in my room, along with clean linen, towels and water. An extra detail was in the pillows, which were very comfortable!
In the morning, Mazen checked in to see if I was fine after the wedding, and ensured that there was a variety of food, coffee and tea available for breakfast. He made sure I knew where to get everything before he left for the day. While I went out with a friend for breakfast, it would have been enough for anyone who needed a bite to eat before heading out to explore Malta.
All basic and expected amenities (incl. fast internet) were available, but Mazen did not stop there. On my second day, I got sick and had to miss my flight home. Mazen was very thoughtful and helped me with looking at new flights, going as far as taking me to his family doctor to get a certificate and medicine. He was even patient when we had to wait almost an hour for the doctor! Having been alone in Malta at this point in my trip, it was very comforting to have a local help! On my last day, he made us both a delicious lunch before driving me to the airport.
Mazen, thank you so much! When I'm back in Malta (and I surely will be), I'll definitely be staying with you again. Value for money is a huge understatement as my experience was invaluable! You're the best!
