Mark and Christine's house was quite a find. Firstly the location is perfect, with nothing inside the walls more than 7 or 8 minutes walk away and plenty of great restaurants and bars even closer, the street itself isn't particularly noisy, as I don't live in a city myself, noise is always a concern but no problems here, I slept like a baby.
The house itself is actually bigger than it looks, it's full of character with lots of it's original features still intact. They've done a great job refurbishing it. It's a million miles from a souless hotel room, we'e loved the traditional Maltese gallerija with a view right down the street to the blue Mediterranean!
Nice comfortable bed, air conditioning if needed (a must in the hot summer), a well kitted out kitchen and lots of thoughtful touches that made this break so enjoyable, Mark went out of his way to check where we could get a bite to eat as we arrived very late.
It was really nice to meet both of them, this doesn't always happen with Airbnb but it adds a lovely personal touch.
Valletta may be one of Europe's smallest capitals but it punches way above it's weight when it comes to history and culture with great photo opportunities around every corner
Thanks again to Mark and Christine for their warm Maltese welcome.
