This place is a quiet retreat, with a welcoming and helpful host: Ian. We had no problem finding it, our taxi driver drove us as far as he got to the door. If you decide to rent a car there's a big parking lot right there as well.
If you want to live like a Maltese local, this is the place. The city of Rabat is packed with small wonders, and gentle locals which are happy to help with directions or tips.

Music flooded our apartment, which had speakers that reached downstairs and in the living room on the middle floor. There even was an okay nylon guitar that made the stay even more authentic.

It's a quick walk to get to Mdina, which is exactly how it appears after a quick google-search; intimate and antique streets, and lots of cozy restaurants and magnificent overlooks.

It was a bit chilly in the evenings in February, so bringing slippers, or buying them at the sunday market (that ends about 11AM) is a good advice.
