WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE! Where do I even start?!?? From the time we booked to the time we left, Christine and Ross were easy to talk to, ask questions of and always replied quickly. The apartment is exactly as described but about 100x cooler in person. DO NOT KEEP LOOKING. Book this!
The parking was easy in a lot just outside the gates to the city. And it was free! We walked all over Birgu, there is no need for a car. But we were also visiting other locations so it was helpful. We took a water taxi to Valletta and I HIGHLY recommend it. £2!!! Worth every penny. The house is on a quiet street and locals sit in there stairs and chat well into the night. It was enchanting. The locals said hello every morning and even invited me into their home as I was admiring their staircase from outside! The restaurants are a quick 3min walk and the walk to get my morning coffee was my favorite part of my day. So much life and energy, it was a town from a different time and I felt like I was whisked back to another era everyday. The restaurant Dcenter was awesome! The house is built into stone and part of it is underground. Be aware the doorways are low, and there are levels throughout the house so be mindful of your step! Everything worked well, we had all the amenities we needed and the bed was perfect for us.
We went to St Peters Pool, about 15min by car and it was AMAZING. You have to go if you love swimming in warm, clear, Mediterranean waters, snorkeling, sunbathing, fishing or cliff jumping! It was epic. All in all this was our favorite Airbnb so far on our 3 week trip. From location to amenities to comfort and neighborhood Christina and Ross’s home in Birgu checked all our boxes and then some.
