Everything was incredible!
But light sleepers, beware.
Andrea went above and beyond his role as a host, particularly with his prompt responses to every one of my numerous questions. The information and recommendations he provided were very practical, and it was very helpful that he coordinated our shuttle from the airport to the house since it was our first time in Malta . The listing and pictures were accurate, and Mdina and the home were just as beautiful as portrayed. I did notice that the house is listed as “self check-in,” however, there was not a keypad on the front door like I am used to, but we had to meet with Andrea’s mother who lives next door to get a physical key.
I want to make a note that the house is directly in front of St. Paul’s Cathedral (as the listing states) which has a bell tower that rings consistently every hour, including throughout the night. The bell woke my husband and me up several times the first night, but we did get earplugs and were able to sleep well after that. Note that the house does not have air conditioning, but the free-standing fans located in the house made the temperature comfortable even in the month of May.
