Clive is a very friendly and welcoming host with very quick response times. He colllected us from the airport and arranged a taxi for the return journey as he was working. The cold beers and delicious food provided on arrival were really appreciated. His roof top apartment is accurately photographed and realistically priced. There was a wealth of information about Malta provided which was really helpful. Hal Qormi is a residential area with several 'daily needs' shops but everywhere else is at least one bus ride away. It's a 10 - 15 minute ride to Valetta. The bus stops are very close to the apartment and it was 21 euros for a week long pass, really good value. A good base for our first visit to a beautiful country.
