Christine and Ross are wonderful hosts who responded promptly and clearly to all our enquiries and gave us excellent tips about restaurants, travel etc. We appreciated the welcome pack of food and wine on arrival and later the oranges fresh from the tree at Christine's parents house.
Birgu is a perfect location, quiet streets good local shops and restaurants and easy access to Valetta via the local ferry which runs half hourly. Our only caution is that it would not be suitable for people with mobility problems. Lots of steps, steep streets which of course are also part of it's charm.
