Mariella was extremely sweet and helpful with our stay in Malta. The place was very clean and conveniently located right next to a bus stop. When you walk outside the apartment, you are right on The Strand and have a beautiful view of the water. It is about a 15 min bus ride to Valetta and only 5 min walk to restaurants. I highly recommend staying with Mariella in Gzira. Also she has an adorable dog named Maya who is very friendly, but if you are not a fan of dogs they usually keep her out of the way. 5/5!
