We had a fantastic week in Malta staying at Alice's place! Alice and her husband were extremely helpful, providing everything we needed such as extra blankets, detergents for washing clothes, etc. We're also extremely grateful that Alice helped facilitate car rental for us, as I couldn't find an automatic car with car rental agencies. If you're not very familiar with manual transmissions, try to get an automatic car in Malta, so that you're not dealing with two unfamiliarities, the gear changing and driving on the left side, at the same time! The house is very well equipped and the surrounding is convenient for walking around, buying basic groceries, etc. It's also easy to park the car outside the house, with plenty of space along the streets. Alice kept the house in a clean and tidy condition. The terrace is so great, looking exactly like the picture posted! During the morning, when it's not windy, it's such a pleasure to have breakfast up there. However, we spent the Christmas in Malta and the weather was nice, mostly sunny, but certainly not as warm as we expected, so make sure you pack winter clothes! Luckily, inside the house, Alice provided gas heaters which are very effective. The only pity of the house is that hot water was provided by an electric heater with a little bit limited capacity. In hot weather, I'm sure there's no problem at all, but in the winter months, it does require you to take shower quickly and separate the shower timing if you have two people.
