I consider myself an extremely seasoned Traveller. That being said, this was easily one of the most magical and memorable travel experiences I have ever had. From start to finish, Josephine was amazing. She even came to collect us at the gates of the city after midnight (our flight was a late one). The Silent City is awe inspiring, and Josephine's flat is right in the center of the magic. It was almost unbelievable that we were actually allowed to call this place home for a few days! The flat itself is small and perfect. It has every amenity you might need and then some. Cosy, tastefully decorated, comfortable and conveniently located. There are several good restaurants and cafes within minutes of the front door. Rabbat is a short, 0 minute walk, and many buses to and from other cities are just outside the gate. The city of Mdina itself...there just aren't adequate words. If it's not on your bucket list, you need to add it! Close enough to the hustle and bustle of places like Valetta, but quiet and secluded enough to feel as though you've stepped back in time, especially after dark when the tourists go home.
Thank you to Josephine for an unforgettable experience. Your kindness and hospitality made what was a special trip truly exceptional.
