We had a very nice stay at Maria's place. Location is excellent, the apartment is nice, aircon did a great job in the high temperatures. The kitchen was well equipped, but it is rather small and might be uncomfortable to cook in long term. However we only ate out so it did not bother us at all. One thing that might be worth mentioning and as heads up for families with small children crawling/ walking - there are quite a few steep stairs going up to the living area and to the kitchen, in my opinion a hazard for the kids exploring the apartment. Should not be an issue for babies who cannot move or kids who are old enough to understand the danger, but not ideal for toddlers.
Otherwise I highly recommend Maria as a host, communication was flawless, she was very responsive and helped us sort out any question we had. Thank you Maria, we really enjoyed Malta.
