Let's start with the location, it's in Floriana, which is outside of the city walls and ideally located in a quiet street, where there are little takeaway cafes and a great eating place called The Olive Tree. It is a lovely short walk into town, through the park adjacent to the street. Melvin met us at the airport and also took us back, for a small fee. He also took us for a drive around the main traffic streets before taking us to the house, so that we had an idea of the layout and access roads and paths. There was a lovely welcome pack (wine, teabags, coffee and mince pies) when we arrrived, then Melvyn gave us a guided tour of the house and advice on using the heating etc. Being December, it was cool but the aircon heating in the main rooms was efficient and useful. The kitchen was cold though, but that is to be expected at that time of year. The house was extremely clean and everything was in very good condition. Comfortable beds and seating area made it a great place to return to. The bathroom is small, but suited our needs and there was always hot water in the shower. There is a rooftop terrace which I really liked, a bit windy sitting up there in winter but I can see it would be lovely on a summer evening. It's a quaint Maltese townhouse, with many of the original features still there. All I would suggest for improvements is instructions on how to use the TV, and somewhere to hang clothes in the top bedroom. These are not criticisms, just suggestions. Superfast wifi was also impressive by the way, you don't always get that. Malta is a lovely place, we were able to get about by buses from the nearby bus terminus/station. Valletta is fascinating, the buildings, art, architecture, people, old preserved shop fronts, food and drink. Melvyn and Audrey are excellent hosts, with great attention to detail and they are friendly and informative. I highly recommend them and I would happily stay in this house again.
