Me and my boyfriend stayed with Vivienne for a week in St Julians. She was a fantastic host! She was there to meet us late on arrival and made sure we felt at home. The studio is very quaint and clean; the kitchen has an oven, hob, fridge and all the necessary kitchen untensils needed! There is an iron and hairdryer provided and the bed is very comfy. Guests have an outside table to themselves and full use of the sun loungers and the pool. Vivienne also has two cats that are beautiful and always pottering about. However if you value your privacy this may not be the place for you, as the family will be around in the garden on evenings and sometimes for a bit in the day; we didn't mind this at all though as they are great people and we had a lot in common with Vivienne's son Matt!
In terms of the location, St.Julians and Paceville are approximately 10 minutes walk away where you can find a supermarket, all the bars/restaraunts and a beach. The bus stop that connects you to most of the island plus to the ferry port for Gozo is only two minutes walk away; the public transport is super easy to figure out. If you're not too bothered about having a drink however I would rent a car as the services are pretty infrequent and can get full pretty quick!
Overall it's perfect for a stress free and sunny getaway :).
