Absolutely charming place. Being there is close to "grandma's house" feeling in a very good way. Old furniture, a lot of books on a staircase, nice pictures etc... Having your own traditional maltese balcony is also a great thing.
Localisation is a huge advantage because it's less than 10 minutes on feet to the gates of Valletta and to the main bus station from where you can catch a bus directly to every place on the island. Despite being in the center of the urbanized area of Malta the neighborhood is quiet (because there are no tourists wandering around).
Unfortunately I have met only Clare's husband - Alan. He was very welcoming and helpful. There was no problem for him to wait for me until midnight to let me in as I had a late flight
They keep their place extremely clean and fresh - what must be difficult on dusty Malta.
Definitely, I'd like to come back there someday.
