Magical and dreamy setting amidst the locals of Isla and Birgu and away and detached from from the teeming crowds of Senglea. I can't tire of the view of the harbor and the honey-coloured light at sunrise and sunset and the small village feel. Support the small boat owners and use their services to get to Senglea; the big ferry is a walk across the harbor.
Expat Alberto (from Italy) might as well be a local-- all the recommendations for restaurants and other sights are spot on. Great communication before, while, and after stay. His apartment is secure, cozy, clean and sufficient and felt like home and comes highly recommended. He also offers to pick you up from/to airport for a fee. If this is your first visit, take it; much will be conveyed on your ride to his apartment.
