Joan is a precious gem of a lady! She went above and beyond to make my stay with her great. I have stayed with several hosts who have come close, but she went the extra distance.
Everything about Joan's place and her assistance is better than detailed in her listing. Shopping, eating, grocery, transportation are all quite close. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious.
Be sure to have Joan direct you to San Anton Gardens, Santa Tereza, and the local pastizzeria.
My tips are to visit Tony (behind the bar) at the Hefu Bar (coffee, tea, beer, and more), and Sweet & Sour Chinese Take-Away.
I will never forget my stay in Malta!
