Malta has changed a lot since I have been last and Manikata, is now a perfect spot for those looking for a mix of quiet and easy access to some of Malta's best swimming spots.
The flat was lovely and the minor issues we had were quickly resolved, and good communication throughout e.g. we needed a sharp knife and had one delivered the same day.
Just make sure you have plenty of change for the coin operated AC which is becoming common place in rented properties in Malta and Gozo.
