This is a really special house in an excellent location. It is just a few minutes' walk down over the hill to the waterfront, where you can catch the regular ferry over to Valetta. Gareth provided a very extensive and useful guide which tells you everything you need to know about the house and the local area (and Malta in general).
A few things to bear in mind - not negatives really but things that won't suit everyone:
The house is an original Maltese townhouse in a residential area, within earshot of a working dock. As such, people are up and about for work during the week, and so there is quite a bit of hustle and bustle. On occasions we could hear them working in the dock during the night. There is also a rather lively dog a few doors down who likes to make himself heard in the mornings! However, there are no noisy bars or clubs, and no traffic noise at all.
Taxi drivers struggle immensely to find the property - use Gareth's map to direct them!! Google maps is useless in the vicinity of the house.
The age of the house means that the drainage can be a little bit temperamental from the shower, so just keep an eye on that when you're in there - the hot water is limited anyway because of the size of the tank, but it is definitely a sufficient amount for two to shower - just not for ages :)
We loved staying here, and the roof terrace is fantastic. The added extras from Gareth (coffee, wine, beer, local orange drink) were such a great touch! We'd definitely stay here again.
