The apartment is really really big and clean!!! Sleeping area is downstairs, the kitchen and daily area is upstairs.
In the kitchen you find almost everything you need, the coffee maker looks funny but works fine.
Even if we could not meet Ritienne in personal, we just had the feeling she was right around the corner, replied to all our messages instantly, sent us extra tips what to see or what was happening in Victoria.
There was already some bread and milk/butter/Joghurt in the fridge, enough towels and three blankets for each of us (everything smelled freshly washed and very good), those you really need in March because the nights are really cool.
From the kitchen you are having a nice view over the beach and the Marsalforn bay.
You should check in to Il-Guva when you are really close with your friends/partner whoever, there are no doors, only a curtain, classic maisonette. The two toilets/showers are separated by doors but there are no walls above, its like having an open window over the door, this actually worked fine for us since you have one toilet/shower on every floor.
You should be ready to walk stairs, this was our daily dose of extra fitness, the samba-stairs right at the entrance of the house are not everybodys favorite, luckily the rest of the stairs is normal. If you have big luggage, its recommendable to carry it together, otherwise you will get trouble in the sleek stairwell.
what also is a big plus: there is a big parking lot three minutes away, its for free. When we arrived we parked almost in front of the door, also not a big deal.
There are many nice places close by where you can have excellent breakfast/lunch/dinner.
We checked out the rooftop only for a minute since we arrived at the end of a big storm and the wind was blowing really strong. Beside one of the beds you are having a tiny balcony where you can dry your towels or enjoy your morning coffee you can open the wall-high-doors on every floor, its like standing outside wherever you want! Super nice!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at Il-Guva apartment and when we visit Gozo next time, we will definitely come back to Ritienne. A nice host with a nice apartment! Thank you!
