Wonderful location in the center of Mdina. Open the upstairs doors and enjoy the balcony over the beautiful central square, with the cathedral just opposite. Stroll to one end of town and look out over the edge onto the plain below; stroll to the other and enter Rabat, with plenty to see and do. Mdina itself actually has quite a lot going on, including a number of restaurants worth visiting repeatedly. But when you want to venture out, the town's central location is perfect for reaching any other spot on the island in half an hour (or less).
As for the place itself--charming, comfortable, and unique. Enter on the first floor into the downstairs main room, with kitchen, shower and bathroom just behind (and a lovely walled garden out the back door with a couple of interesting cats). Enough space in the main room for eating a meal, and the kitchen is well-supplied for cooking. A real gas stove, a real refrigerator and freezer, plenty of utensils--and some very nice extras thanks to the generosity of the hosts.
Up the spiral staircase is a comfortable sitting room and generously sized bedroom. Plenty of sheets, blankets, pillows, plenty of places to sit, plenty of places to put clothes. And beautiful light thanks to two sets of double doors (one set in each room) that open onto the balcony. Light control is easy thanks to shutters (same for the downstairs, though it has less light).
Best for last: wonderful hosts who live next door, are very friendly and kind, and are generous in a way that really goes above and beyond. We arrived late the first night and were supplied with a delicious soup. We had the place entirely to ourselves and were never disturbed, but the hosts answered quickly if we had questions or concerns.
Our stay in Malta was brief, but we left feeling positive we could not not have chosen a better place to say, and could not have had better hosts.
