Karl and his partner Marco were charming and gracious hosts, starting from being willing to pick me up at the ferry from Sicily at midnight. Their apartment is clean and modern, and in a great location. It's close to bus stops, which makes the rest of Malta easily accessible. Also close to the sea and a vibrant night life area of town. They were very helpful and accommodating and shared much of Malta's culture and special places with me. It was a pleasure being there.
