My wife and I had a great long stay in Ivan's penthouse during our honeymoon. It's a great place, tidy and comfortable with enough AC power to keep the most important areas cool even during summer heat. The terrace is the real jewel of the place and we enjoyed being able to eat outside, sit under the canopy on warm afternoons, and know that we had a shower to use after relaxing at the marina around the corner. Ta' Xbiex is not as walkable as some parts of the country, but there are good cafes and grocery stores in easy walking distance, and a bus stop nearby puts the whole island at your fingertips. Ivan was also a great host; he communicated quickly, answered all of our questions, made checkin easy, but otherwise let us enjoy the stay. If we ever return for another stay in Ta' Xbiex, we would love to stay here again.
