This was my first experience using AirBnB and I would definitely do it again. I truly enjoyed my stay at Alex's house and it is a big reason why my trip was so enjoyable. On my first night I did not really have any plans so he invited me to join him for dinner and took me on a drive to Mdina. (I highly recommend to see Mdina at night as it is truly magical). I enjoyed the generous and healthy breakfasts that Alex prepared for us, not only was it very good but a good way to begin your day. The location is great because it is close to everything, within a few blocks you can find all the tour groups,some pubs/cafes and some quick shops if you need to grab a quick snack. For a solo traveler I would recommend this over a hotel because it is a great way to live like a local and also to meet other travellers. During my stay with Alex I felt less like a tourist and more like his home was my home :)
