We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The house had all we needed, a kitchen with basics, washing machine, air con, comfy bed and couch for siesta. Our arrival time was quite late, but Veronica gave us simple directions and checking in and out was really easy. We were also able to communicate easily which was appreciated for little tips on travel etc. Our house was metres from the beautiful Basilica, which meant you were greeted with bells at about 8 each morning, but we loved it.
L-Isla (or anywhere in the 3 Cities) is definitely recommended over staying further north. It is a ‘local’ city, everyone is really friendly and it is really easy to ferry/bus to the more touristy areas.
Waking up, going for a swim off the point, and heading round to the Regatta Club for a drink in the shade is a must. Also the well- hidden Ta Nejna pizza for dinner, with a few Cisks in the street while you wait and chat with the locals made my week.
