We loved this house. It was perfect for 4 people. We travel all over the word frequently for months at at time (digital nomads), and we do long stays (2+ weeks) in houses through AirBbN. This was certainly one of our favorites houses and a wonderful location. We would absolutely recommend it for value, quality, communication, location, character etc. A real, unique gem.
Simon, the owner, was great with communications and extremely helpful with very questions.
The house is in a fantastic location (pedestrian only street but near parking) in the beautiful old town area of Victoria. You can easily walk to many things (grocery at Green's, many restaurants at St. George's Square, the Citadel, banks, shopping, etc.)
This beautiful house is 400 years old. But, it is updated and absolutely full of wonderful character. The plants and skylights above the staircase make you feel like you are sitting in an open garden or patio. The kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable, etc. The old beams in the bedrooms and the original floor in one of the bedrooms were all wonderful touches for the history of the home and area. The air conditioning in the bedrooms (we did not use the air conditioning downstairs as it was not needed) worked wonderfully.
Victoria (Rabat) was a fun and enjoyable small city with plenty of places to explore. Gozo is a great island (much more laid back and more authentic than much of Malta). We loved the island and the people. So many small restaurants to try, small coves and beaches. And coming home each evening to Simon's wonderful home was a pleasure.
Best meals were Nana's Ravioli at Cafe Jubilee and nearly everything we tried at Neolitik Cafe (octopus with romesco sauce and confit of chicken leg were great). Both are easy walks from the house. Also, great food at Karonlina's on the waterfront at Xlendi Bay. Country Terrace was nice for upscale dining with views but service (both times) was a bit off (not enough trained staff).
