Our stay in Malta was lovely and Richard was a great host. He recommended a taxi driver who picked and dropped us off at the airport - made everything so much easier!
The apartment is not in a touristy area which is nice and but also means, without a car the only option is a water taxi to get to places. We ended up spending most of our time in Valletta and the weekly pass is definitely the way to go.
Malta is a great gem with a unique culture and really great people!
