Dale's place really is all about the location. Birzebbuga doesn't appear in most guide books and so it feels very much off the beaten path and reminded us of what my dad (a babyboomer) used to tell about some coastal cities in southern France in the 60s: Dirty, loud, but very local and very original. If you're looking for this kind of place, the apartment is perfect for you: Right on the (marvellous) beach with all the necessary amenities, including a washing machine, but no perks, hence the fantastic price. You won't be able to have dinner on the balcony (it's too small, but that seems to be typical for Malta), but will have a fantastic view with a beer in your hand while the sun sets over the bay. Value is fantastic, so if you don't mind the lack of perks (besides the view) and want an original place to stay in, this is it.
