Staying at Tonio’s apartment was my first experience of using Airbnb, and it couldn’t have been better. The flat was clean and simple, but equally welcoming and included everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The apartment is in a prime location in the heart of the Three Cities, a stone’s throw away from Valletta, with stunning views from the balcony over the harbour. It’s well connected to public transport with bus stops and the shuttle ferry only a few minutes walk away. There’s also a handy little café and shop downstairs run by Rita and Mario, who were as welcoming as everyone else we met on Malta.
Tonio introduced us to Birgu and showed us the sights when we first arrived, highlighting the local history in which he is so knowledgable as we went. His passion for the local area and for Malta was clear. Tonio really is a lovely guy and did everything he could do to accommodate us before and during our stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Tonio’s place again, and recommend everyone tries to stay here as a fantastic base to explore this beautiful island.
