As a solo female traveler, I was hesitant. You share the living space with a man who is a stranger, the bedrooms are down the hall in the back of the apartment, and the ensuite room has no outside window, only a window that opens to an air shaft. HOWEVER, after a few minutes of talking with Lawrence you can see that he is a stand-up guy. I stayed for eight nights. Lawrence is very knowledgable about Maltese economics and history and I very much enjoyed our conversations.
There is ample cookware and utensils for cooking; Lawrence kindly cleared me a couple of fridge shelves. The water pressure wasn't strong, but I always had hot water and strong wifi. The apartment is large with high ceilings and the ensuite room is large with lots of closet and drawer space. Everything was clean and free of clutter. The bedrooms don't face the street, so it is very quiet. The heater in my room was a bit noisy so I slept with earplugs. Excellent location, unbeatable price, and great host! RECOMMEND!
