Abigail and Richard's place was a wonderful spot in which to base ourselves for two not-long-enough days in Malta. It is clear how much effort they have put into decorating this space (also cleaning it!...absolutely spotless) and it was fantastic to be able to stay in a traditional Maltese-style house.
Abigail is a true super host, leaving a small folder of tips and tricks and having everything ready for guests, from towels to soaps to all the fixings for breakfast. The latter was so kind and such an appreciated gesture - there was fresh fruit as well as milk, bread, jams and coffee.
We probably didn't use the rooftop terrace enough but it's a lovely spot for a glass of wine at sunset or coffee in the morning. We didn't know so much about Malta for two days (which really is not long enough!) but as you roam around, you'll find yourselves in lots of tourist scrums so it was super nice to be able to return to this delightful and quiet spot in the evening. Like others have also said, feels more like a neighbourhood than a tourist spot.
As other guests have also said the public transport situation was perfect - a 3 minute stroll down to the waterfront and you have both buses and the ferry at your disposal. Abigail recommended the e-cars service to us, as a taxi to the airport, and this was fantastic and so easy to use. We also took buses (1.50 euros a ride) but this often took a lot longer. We downloaded the e-cars app and would get the drivers to meet us at the HSBC bank on the corner (literally 2 minutes walk down the stairs from Abigail's place). The maps don't really work around here (we went where Google maps told us but were about a block from the actual address) because of the stairs so, as other guests have also said, best to find a landmark instead. We ate at Cafe Rouge a couple of times and this was good and filling, if not a wildly interesting menu (hamburgers, pizzas etc).
Other tips: Abigail's place has a lot of stairs so if you have mobility problems, be aware. The flat is not particularly soundproof between rooms so if you are wanting privacy between the different parties in one place, that's also worth noting. And it's pretty quiet around this neighbourhood, even on a Saturday night, so if you're wanting to party, you'll be better off staying somewhere like Silema.
