My stay with Sarah was absolutely lovely. She communicated very well with me from the moment I sent my first message. It was my first time visiting Malta so I had a ton of questions and she did not hesitate to answer them and give her advice. Right when I walked through her door, she welcomed me and I felt like we've been friends for years, not strangers who just met. The room is exactly as described, absolutely charming. The location is perfect, I was within walking distance from the ferry ports, bus terminal, restaurants, shops, cathedrals, gym...everything! The neighborhood is safe and easy to get around, I quickly became familiar with it. Sarah had everything ready for me when I arrived - maps, tourist info, towels, some hygiene products, even some snacks. She even booked a taxi for me so I could make it to my early morning departure flight. Her home has a lot of charm and character, after a long day of walking and sightseeing I appreciated going back to the room and being able to relax. It really felt as if I was going back to my own home and not to a cold and generic hotel room. And her cats, those babies are adorable!No matter what your plans are in Malta, Valletta is the perfect place to stay because everything is so accessible. I only had two full days and pretty much went everywhere - Hagar Qim, Rabat, Three Cities, Sliema, and just got on a bus that circled around the country. Valletta was my starting point. I left earlier this morning and I miss it already, I can't wait to go back and will definitely be staying at Sarah's again, hopefully. To those visiting Malta for the first time, it won't be your last, its impossible not to fall in love! Enjoy your trip and thanks again Sarah!
