Me and my boyfriend had a lovely time in Malta staying at Karen's beautiful flat. We had the pool all to ourselves and Karen was a lovely host. She gave us lots of suggestions of things to do in Malta, have us herbs from her garden and ice creams, and even gave us a lift to the airport. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend this location for couples. It's very romantic. The location Tarxien is a friendly place - we really enjoyed being with the locals. Definitely hire a car when in Malta (from the airport) it's easy to get around since Malta is so small - but don't book online it's cheaper to ring up the different car companies at the airport and ask their costs and terms and conditions. We would definitely stay with Karen again - and we really enjoyed the friendly cat who came to visit us most evenings. :)
