It is very easy to check in and get local tips from messaging the hosts. It is a beautiful charming house, the windows have a picturesque view of the coast. It was December/January and we enjoyed the sunshine coming from Germany, and even took a swim in the ocean in an inlet protected from the wind. Gozo is beautiful and Alexandra's place makes a relaxing spot. The large living area is shared and the cooking area is easy to use. We especially enjoyed the fireplace and some donations for the wood are well worth it. We came with a car but it is also possible to travel with bus to/from here. 15 minute walk to the town center with restaurants and groceries and 20 minutes to a beautiful beach that must be nice in the summer (too windy in the winter to swim but nice for viewing). Hiking trails are also nearby.
