Even before I arrived in Malta, Mary proved to be very welcoming and helpful and continued to be so throughout my stay. She familiarized me with the house and the surrounding area and had even prepared maps and brochures both for Birkirkara (banks, shops, restaurants) as well as sights across Malta and Gozo. Mary was very accommodating and always easy to contact, even late in the evenings.
The house itself is great, with large rooms, a fully furnished kitchen and a few basics for daily needs. For everything else, there are two supermarkets within a short distance of walking. There are also three bus stops in the vicinity with buses going in all directions. If you want to explore the islands (like me), Mary's place proves to be an excellent base for day trips. However, as it is very quiet despite being in the center of town, it is also possible to just spend some time and relax.
If you're planning a stay on Malta, I can absolutely recommend Mary and her lovely house in Birkirkara. You will have nothing to worry about and be able to experience these wonderful islands. It definitely made my stay very pleasant and enjoyable.
