We'd recommend booking Alfred to collect you from the airport since on the way to the accommodation he'll chat about the locality, give you landmarks and references which maximises your holiday time. Why spend a day getting your bearings? On day one you'll know where the 3 Cities Ferry departs to Valletta, how the buses work, have local recommendations from feedback Alfie and recent guests have given for breakfast, lunch and dinner, a general understanding of the layout of Il-Birgu and its attractions - all this added to the massive amount of information Alfie sends to you straight after your booking has been confirmed. Knowing that our arrival was late, Alfie ensured we had ham, cheese and fresh bread for that night and the following morning (oh and a Christmas present to unwrap by the "funky" Christmas tree which was a nice touch mate). The accommodation was spotless; the photos very accurate. It's hard to put into words how magnificent this area and all of Malta in fact looks at Christmas time. Street lights and decorations fill the alley ways and doors of houses which adds to the feel-good factor. For summer time substitute sunlit alley ways. We totally recommend Airbnb with Alfie - he's a warm and friendly man who simply wants you to get the most from your hard-earned holiday. He certainly made our holiday very special. We'll be back, for sure Alfie!
