Mark is a thoughtful and friendly host. The apartment is simply furnished but more than adequate, with the bonus of heaps of maps, bus and ferry timetables and a range of guidebooks. Lots of kitchen equipment and food items including staples like olive oil, salt and pepper which are disproportionately expensive to buy in small quantities for short visits if or just not available.

My mobile failed to work in Malta but when l did get through to Mark he was very helpful. He carried my circa 23kg suitcase up five flights of stairs with ease, and generously changed his keys for mine when l couldn't get the somewhat temperamental lock to open.

The apartment is centrally located in Valletta & Mark has annotated a map of the city with useful and interesting places like cafes and restaurants, a grocery store, ferry points etc. Every tip he gave me of places to visit really paid off too.

I would happily stay here again & recommend it. But keep the quintessentially Maltese windows shut at night to avoid mosquitos in summer.
