Andrea was a super host indeed! Communications were excellent throughout our stay, and the apartment was amazing! It was quite a modern apartment, with plenty of space for a family (we only stayed as a couple, so it felt huge).
Everything was immaculately clean and well presented, and Andrea helped to answer all our questions about the area when we checked in. The welcome package was a great touch!
The location was ideal for our needs, as we had a rental car, and could easily reach the local beaches, and travel to Gozo via the ferry. It's also a great starting point for some local hikes along the coastline. Without the car, I'm not sure how easy it would be to get to some of the more touristic hotspots like Bugibba or indeed to get to Gozo. A local shop is open daily for basic groceries, but we found we needed to go to the larger supermarket in Mellieha which had longer opening hours.
We would thoroughly recommend a stay at Ta'Lonza if you are looking to explore the northern part of Malta, and have access to a car, or don't mind catching public transport / taxis around the place. Overall, it was fantastic value for money!
