The pictures do not do it justice. It is immaculately clean and the amenities make it home from home. The bed is comfortable and cosy. It has space for all clothes and gadgets so nothing is left on show. The tv has movies and tv shows to watch with a great Wi-Fi free of charge. The bathroom is small but very adequate with a powerful hot shower. The kitchen has everything needed to make meals including utensils such as scissors, knives cutlery. You could easily live in this studio not just make do as most! John our host kindly left tea bags, sugar and coffee for us, which was gratefully used. There are shops within 5 minutes walk including fresh bread, pastries and food to cook if you need. We ate breakfast every morning and prepared packed lunches to take with us. The studio is located 5 mins from the Valetta ferries and bus stops to gain easy access to all of Malta. We travelled everywhere on public transport no need to hire a car or get taxis. John advised us that one bus ticket for 1.5 euros is valid for all buses within a 2 hour slot. This makes travelling very cheap and easy. We used the washing machine and lines and pegs were provided. There is a small balcony from the bedroom which would be a lovely place to sit and eat or drink when warm. The roof terrace has comfortable furniture and amazing views. If it was warm, we would have sat up there playing cards and relaxing. There is a large shaded are protected with a gazebo and smaller unshaded if you fancied a spot of sunbathing in privacy. Perfect spot for a read! The area is residential and extremely safe to wander round. We ran round the 3 cities easily it's not far, 4 miles covering all of the borders and back. The area makes for a lovely scenic walk. The 3 cities particularly Birgu is steeped in history and fortified. In the evening you can choose to wander round the harbour or up and down the quaint historical streets within Birgu. These are all within a 5 min walk from the studio. There is takeaways very close and bakeries and you may return to the studio and eat indoors at the table, on the sofa watching a film or on terrace. John provided us with useful tips and allowed us to leave our luggage as we had a late flight home. Plenty of sockets too!
All in all this is home and can be a cheap break away if you prepare some meals and use the good public transport. There are restaurants nearby that range in prices. The food is mainly Italian English or Maltese. The local beer a wine is good.
Thank you John for your hospitality. I would definitely reccomend.
