The whole house and the apartment itself are beautiful, furnished with beautiful things, everything is new, well maintained, clean and nice smelling. I enjoyed the different lighting options, having a warm blanket to cover myself with because it's winter time - lying in a fresh smelling, clean bed in the warmth was a great luxury. No, it's not a given - I've changed three accommodations in Malta, this was paradise! The hosts were very caring and accommodating, with genuine interest and effort. I will always want to stay with them in Malta.
