I love airbnb for the interesting experiences it provides. The rentals are often quirky and out of the ordinary. So it was with the room rented from Chris and Lily in Valletta. Our room was a beautifully renovated space with a somewhat edgy design- what would you expect from a talented architect? We could share the kitchen and outside space (both upstairs on the top floor) with the staff of Chris's architectural firm which inhabited the rest of the building. Even in mid-October it was very hot and so we used the deck only in the evening when it was cooler and provided lovely views over the water. It was a highlight of our day though! Chris was very helpful with restaurant suggestions so we ate extremely well. The building was well located so we could walk everywhere we needed to go. All in all, Malta was a great experience.
