The place: The apartment is on the fourth floor and since we were travelling with two seniors (65+) and a small child. We were very glad there was a lift in the building. Upon our entry, it became evident that the place was underrepresented in the images used on Airbnb. William’s place is super clean, very spacious, and had all the amenities we possibly needed during our stay, including a fast wi-fi connection.

The location: St. Paul’s Bay is an awesome area. In a nutshell, the neighborhood of William’s apartment rocks. It’s quiet without being dull. The apartment is very close to the well-connected bus system that can get you about anywhere in Malta you would want to go, including the ferries. Nearby streets are riddled with very good to excellent local restaurants, and cafe’s and pubs. There are also supermarkets close by, which is handy, and of course, the sea is just around the corner.

In my experience using Airbnb, I find that the host of the property generally reflects the quality of the stay for the places I previously reserved. This stay was no exception.

The host: I’ve had some great hosts on Airbnb (actually, all of them so far), but William (and family) were by far the most generous host(s) I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He and his family were more than accommodating. He got us to and from the airport and even made sure we had something to eat upon our late arrival from the airport.

Our experience: We had a blast in Malta and at the end of the day when we got home, we felt home. We look forward to renting William's this place again.
