Chris' place at Senglea was fabulous and exactly as advertised - a traditional Maltese house in an area that is not full of tourists and therefore allowed us to meet many local Maltese people on the streets, on the buses, and on the ferry to and from Valletta. The neighbours were great - like so many Maltese people, chatty and welcoming. If you want to stay right in the middle of town a stone's throw from many tourist attractions, this is not the place for you, but if you want to really get a feel for the way of life of many local people, this is an excellent place to stay. Take the time to walk the streets of the Three Cities - we valued these very simple experiences greatly. The ferry from Cospicua to Valletta is just a few minutes walk away, along the very pretty harbour, and the ferry ride itself is a delight. The view from the rooftop deck over to Vittorosio is gorgeous, and Sylvana was an absolute delight - friendly, welcoming, hospitable and helpful. Try the local Maltese restaurant Ta Nejna, a hidden delight that is off the beaten track - Sylvana can point it out to you - a wonderful and entertaining collection of local characters work and drink there, and the food is good - we ate there nearly every night as we got to know them better, and really valued their willingness to welcome us and talk about their lives and their country. We highly recommend Chris' place, which was full of charm and character.
