I went to Malta for a two-week stay to conduct research in Valletta. I consider myself extremely fortunate that Shaun's flat was available while I was there. His house is in a very nice neighborhood with nearby bus stops that will easily get you to Valletta and other locations on the island. It is also walking distance to several great cafes and restaurants. The flat itself is very livable for an extended stay, with a full kitchen and rooftop patio. Shaun keeps the place very clean. He terrific! He is very knowledgeable and willing to offer suggestions for places to eat and things to do. He is also a very gracious host who made me feel welcome. My stay in Malta was wonderful, and I credit a large part of that to my stay at Shaun's flat.
