Me and my mother stayed in Miriam's place for a week and had a lovely holiday. Miriam made us feel very welcomed even before we arrived with nice messages and helpful attitude. She and her husband picked us up from the airport (we paid 20 € extra for the airport transfer) with a sign that had our names written on them - so it couldn't have been easier and more stress-free start for the stay! They also showed us around Bugibba&Qawra and gave us nice tips on where to go in Malta, how to avoid traffic jams etc. They were easy to contact during the whole stay, and once they came to give us extra set of keys that we asked and to try fix the wi-fi. We also booked airport transfer from them at the end of our stay. Because our flight left quite late and they didn't have a new reservation right away, they let us stay in the apartment much later than the normal check-out time, which was very nice.

The apartment was just like in the pictures, very nice and tidy. Only because we were two, we only had one bedroom (the one with a door to the back balcony). There was just one bed and blanket, which was a little funny for an adult child and mom, but we managed fine :). It was lovely to have breakfast in front of the back terrace. The kitchen was well equipped with kettle and toaster and dishes etc., and Miriam had left us some wine, water and tea/coffee when we arrived. It didn't get too hot in the apartment, because there were nice curtains that reflected the heat away and fans in the living room and bedroom. The shower was a little tight-fisted with the water, but we managed fine with that as well. The wifi worked most of the time, but the connection didn't enable skype or whatsapp calls for us. Miriam and her husband did make it work a little better and said they'll keep trying to improve it with the operator.

The location of the flat is very central, and as it was so close to the bus terminal, it was very easy to go around. The beach was near and it was nice to swim, walk around, jog, go for dinner etc. The only downside in the location (for us) was that there were few bars that played live music/karaoke quite loud in the nighttime - you could hear it in the living room and even in the bedroom. But then again, hearing live music from the balcony can be a good thing, if you happen to like the music being played :). And they didn't continue very late - I think they stopped around midnight and after that it was very quiet and peaceful, especially in the bedroom that was on the other side of the house.

All in all, a nice place to stay, with very helpful hosts!
