Fran’s apartment is the perfect base for exploring Malta and Fran is the best AirBnB host we’ve had. He was extremely friendly and welcoming and offered a lot of useful tips for exploring the area. His place is in a great location - close to the restaurants and shops of St Julian’s, many amazing swimming spots, ferries to Valetta and boats to other spots in Malta, and buses to get anywhere else on the island. It was a bit hot, even with A/C, but we were there during a heat wave and loved being able to just swim in the ocean to cool down. There’s also a great terrace with a lemon tree and fans. We would highly recommend staying at Fran’s place if you have the chance!!!
