Stephanie was the perfect host. She very kindly gave me a lift from the airport and made me feel really welcome during my first (ever!) hours in Malta. She explained all of the ins and outs of the apartment concisely, too. Grazzi Stephanie!
I was staying in the area for a wedding a short walk away at the Castello Żammitello and the location of the apartment couldn't have been better. If you're up for a longer, ambling walk it's not too much hassle to walk from the apartment to the nearest beach.
The supermarket directly under the apartment is _far_ larger than I expected and fully stocked with everything you'd ever need. Whilst I didn't take advantage of the cooking facilities in the apartment but they'd be more than ample to cook yourself up a storm.
Mgarr itself is delightful. On my first night, I treated myself to my bodyweight in snails and horsemeat in the United Restaurant Behind the Church (which Stephanie recommended, grazzi again!). With the spirits of sloth and mighty galloping in my belly I advanced into the evening to discover the imposing church and the soft hum of the cicadas. I'll definitely be back!
