This stay was really great! My daughter and I had a great time overall. The location was amazing and we were able to quickly walk to the historic area or Valletta for places to eat and explore. The check in process was very smooth as well and using a key made us feel secure for getting in and out of the building. The family lives there and were not noisy at all! Same direct access through the front door but the basement goes down right from the front door. The pictures looked just like the real place, and it was spacious, especially for the price. She provided water for us and some pamphlets on things in the area which were very helpful. She also replied very quickly and was communicative with us. We loved Malta and would definitely come back to stay here, even with the little things. Some minor downsides were that there were ants around the bathroom and ended up near the beds on our last night. We ended up staying for 5 nights and loved our experience. The toilet flush was chipped away making it difficult to flush, as well as the sink would not drain at first. These were things we were able to easily fix, however. There was also no shower bar for a curtain as well as no curtain so the water sprayed. We asked for one and she provided it the next day all set up! When she came in the room when we were gone to set it up, she did turn our fans off which caused the room to be hot when we returned. Overall though, the AC was great and there were two fans. She also provided snorkels (one being broken however) and extra towels and bedding. Overall it was a great stay! Just some small things. We would definitely recommend for an inviting stay in Malta. Thank you again!
