Licienne's place is a lovely place to stay with good connection possibilities to visit other parts of the island; public transport a brief walk away as was a superb pie shop the other way. My only grumble was the state of the pavements and footpaths - very treacherous in some places - especially in the dark; this was all over Malta.
I opted for using public transport which is very cheap. There's a basic ticket price of 1 euro 50 cents - ( I think that's for seniors - may be 2 eros for others) which covers you for up to a two hour period; on and of any number of buses.
