Marthese is most definitely a Super Super Host. She was extremely attentive and helpful, walking to find us when we arrived in the dark. The apartment and kitchen are very well equipped and spacious, and full of thoughtful touches such as toiletries, extra blankets, washing line and pegs, smoke alarm, fire extinguisher and blanket. Having 2 bathrooms was great for myself and friend, and balconies front and back. It is very peaceful yet a few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and cheap, comprehensive buses (1 euro 50 for 2 hours' travel anywhere). It is about 1 hour on the bus from the airport, and 15 minutes from Cirkewwa for ferries to Gozo and Comino. Mellieha Bay with its long, sandy beach is 15 minutes walk. The scenery and walking in this area is stunning.
