If you want a real taste of Maltese living, rent this house, meet the host, do lots of locaal eatnig, cooking and shopping. Go to the Sunday market. If you don't always want to use the car, get a bus pass and go all over. House is tremendous and Marco has done a wonderful design to it. It has mor than you will expect and to the best standards. Plenty of kitchen and cleaning stuff. I will return if Marco will have me back.
