I'd never been to Malta and needed a break. I couldn't have landed at a better spot to rest and see things. John's place is convenient to everything via bus, tucked into a real Maltese neighborhood rather than a touristy area, and is a nice old "house of character" with lots of charm. Plus you get a funny, shy, little cat to visit with for free.
John has lots of useful recommendations and information about the area, is very helpful, great to talk to, and gives you space, if you need it, to relax. He's an informative, kind and entertaining host and makes you feel at home in his home.
I really enjoyed my stay. If and when I head back there, I'll try to stay at John's.
