Tanya is the best communicator, replying almost instantaneously to any request or concern. Her flat is exactly as described and the view over the water is better than the photo conveys. The neighborhood is quiet and local with plenty of convenience stores, two pharmacies ( with physicians holding clinics there, if needed, at very reasonable cost) there are also two local post offices and, just down the steep hill on the Strand, no end of restaurants, some of them high quality. Buses are close by, frequent and cheap. Tanya was particularly helpful and sympathetic when I had a family emergency and she cheerfully forwarded mail, and boxed and mailed things for us, so she typifies the wonderful hospitality and friendliness of the Maltese people. Wonderful stay with superb host.
