We had a lovely stay at Francesca's house. Her mother met us at the bus stop (we took the bus from the airport) and went so far as to get on the bus to make sure she found us and we got off at the right stop! Both Francesca (by Airbnb and text message) and her mother were very kind and helpful. Francesca replied promptly to my messages. The house is in a quiet residential area, there was some construction going on nearby but otherwise was very peaceful. It's a short walking distance to both Balluta Bay and the downtown Sliema area. The house was very spacious, and we felt at home there. Only minor complaint, the hangers in the wardrobe were dusty, but it wasn't a big issue. Would stay again if I'm in Malta!
