As others have said, Mark is a warm, charismatic, and generous host. We were greeted by him on arrival from the airport, despite the very late hour, and he was attentive to our needs and friendly throughout our stay. Little touches such as the greeting bottle of wine and books on Malta were thoughtful and really personalized the experience. The apartment is light and spacious, in an excellent location for exploring wonderful Valletta, and perfectly suited our needs.
