Carol is probably the best hosts I've had using Airbnb through the years. She was very responsive in her communications and answered all the questions I had. I was initially concerned about the location, but I also wanted to experience what in essence is traditionally Maltese. Her house is absolutely stunning and I love the expanse of it. It has all been meticulously restored and it's even better than the pictures with the sunshine filtering through the windows.
Carol is a wealth of knowledge on Malta and she advised me on where I should go and what I should experience. As I hadn't really planned anything, this really helped me shape my days.
If you have a car you can get to most of the interesting places like Valetta in about half an hour. Other brilliant places Carol told me to visit were the villages of Marsaxlokk (a fishing village), which has a small port and a host of great fish restaurants in the front and Marsalscala which is more upbeat with off the beat tourists and bars around another port. These are about 15 minutes away from Carol's place and I would highly recommend them.
Transport if you don't have a car is quite easy too as you can get buses every half an hour to Valleta from outside the house. There are a couple of other buses that take you to the above mentioned villages which are a must see. You can also order a cheap Bolt taxi or Ecar using the app on a phone.
Finally, I want to thank Carol so much for making my stay so enjoyable. And also for inviting me to dinner with her friends one day, and also a delicious barbeque another. She can't do enough to help you and look after you.
I'll definitely stay here when I come to Malta again.
