A stay with Josephine makes you feel like a native. The town where she lives lets you experience daily life as it is for those who live there.
She was a wonderful hostess who went above and beyond what I could have expected. She picked me up at the airport and gave me a short tour and orientation on our way to the apartment. She brought me fresh strawberries and even baked for me!
Josephine was very helpful with suggestions for experiencing certain Maltese food and also cared very much that I saw the things important to Maltese history. She checked in with me each day to make sure all was good.
The apartment was pleasant and spacious. The kitchen was stocked with the basics and the bathroom had everything you could need. Mdina, the silent city, is a wonderful place to stay and is convenient to many of the bus routes you would use to get around.
If you do go in winter or early spring be prepared for cool nights. There is a heater in the kitchen/living area but none in the bedroom that I noticed. I was fine with that because I like a cool house and the comforter and blankets in the bedroom kept me warm.
