Thank you to Alison and Jesmond, We have just got back from a week stay in the 1 bed apartment. Jesmond picked up up from the airport which was great as we landed late at night. On the drive he gave us lots of tips and advice of places to go, things to see and do. We didn't have a car but got a weekly bus ticket and managed to see and do a lot using the buses.
We used the pool most days and also had a BBQ a few times, the local shop just 5 min walk away was really handy too and having a fridge in the room was good too. Alison was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.
Having seen a lot of the island we were really happy with our choice to stay in Mellieha as felt this was a nicer part of the island. Valleta was stunning and if you can stay a night there too I would recommend that (We didn't and got the bus back) If you go to comino island go as early as you can getting the first ferry as it gets very busy! GOZO hop on and off bus is great to see a lot there too.
Overall I would highly recommend Alison place to stay they were so friendly, helpful, the room was great, clean and easily accessible to local shops and transport if you dont have a car (5 min uphill walk)
Thank you and we hope to visit again soon.
