Even though I live on Gozo, I often use an Airbnb close to the airport for flights out of Malta, especially if the weather is bad and there is a risk the ferry won’t run. I stayed at Andrea’s place before my last flight and it was ideal for what I wanted. Due to the severe rainstorms I couldn’t risk being too far in case the roads were closed by heavy rain. I know Luqa quite well and know it would take me 10-12 minutes walking to get to the departure terminal. In the end, as I injured my foot, I booked an e-cab which took 5 minutes and cost €6.50. Had I been uninsured I would definitely have walked. The apartment is clean, comfortable, easy to find (one reviewer said it was hard to find, but it has the number on the front door and is next to Goodfellas pizza so it’s actually very easy with Google maps, even if you don’t know the area). It has AC, which is essential for the summer, although I didn’t need it in November. The bathroom is clean and modern, the beds are comfortable and it has all the usual basics. Andrea replied very quickly and was always in touch, he’s an excellent host. I will definitely use his place again when flying out of Malta.
