I was staying at Ines and Giovanni’s house for 6 days. And firstly, I’d like to thank them once again for hosting me :)
I chose to stay at Ines and Giovanni’s place because of the house’s good location (close to the bus stops, supermarket, cafes and etc.), good reviews (those proved to be completely true) and acceptable pricing.
Giovanni is a very nice host: he explained all the needed information about the house and it’s rules (however I’d advise you carefully read it when he sends it to you beforehand) and was very helpful during my stay (answered all my questions and gave valuable advice).
For instance, once he helped me sort out the booking issues I had with a local tour provider and I managed to get on the tour I wanted to. Besides, on my last day of stay I had a small issue with buses going to the airport. To cut a long story short, he brought me by his car to the bus stop to take a direct ride to the airport. I don’t think this is something usual that he does for the guests but it shows that he really cares about the guests.
Btw, should I mention that Giovanni has a great sense of humor? ;)
Ines is a lovely lady, she was always helpful and nice to talk to. Once she made bread and offered me a few pieces which was very nice of her (Ines, if you are reading this — the bread was good, you didn’t have to worry :))
Here are a few things I wish I had in the room:
⁃ air conditioner (there was a fan, but it was still quite hot at some nights)
⁃ door lock and key (even though the place is safe, that’s something that I’m used to having by default)
To sum it up, I’d recommend Ines and Giovanni’s place for your stay in Malta. Good place, great people!
