Malcolm's house in Sliema is an absolute delight, a rare opportunity to stay in a traditional Maltese house including wooden street balcony. We were a large family group (11) and the house was extremely spacious with four large bedrooms, several bathrooms, a large dining table, comfortable lounge room, and outdoor areas downstairs and on the roof top to sit and relax.
At check-in, Victoria (Malcom's mother) met us and showed us around the entire house, and even had the fridge loaded with cold Cisk (beer) and the oven filled with warm pastizzi! It was perfect for our arrival, hungry on a hot afternoon.
The house was perfectly clean with lots of towels. It is a three level house with a central staircase, so it is a bit of a workout to get to the top level frequently but I didn't find it to be a problem - plus I needed the exercise after eating too many pastizzi.
We found the location to be very convenient, on top of the hill in Sliema very close to many bus stops (and a pastizzeria) or a ~10 min downhill walk to either Balluta bay or the Sliema ferry.
I would certainly recommend this house and host, and I hope to return again one day.
