The Host:

When i first arrived i felt a little unsure as it was my first time using Airbnb, however when i met Greta i was put at ease straight away.

Greta is a very friendly and i suppose professional host who made it clear what the boundaries were (Noise, Tidiness etc) - which i liked. That said i felt i had complete freedom of the Apartment and wasn't restricted in any way in terms of coming in later at night etc.

Although Greta was busy with work throughout the week i felt she tried to be as helpful as she could as she knew the country very well even though i had a clear idea of what i wanted to do when i was there and she took me cycling which was nice as i got to see parts of the country i would otherwise not have known to look for.

The Apartment:

The apartment itself is quite something in my opinion, it is on the second floor and looks very modern and feels great to live in. The way the light come in through the balcony windows create a big sense of space. All the basics for living are there to live in a very comfortable manner.

The Location:

The apartment location was the main one for me. Located in Birkirkara is exactly where i would want to be living, far enough away from the main tourist areas that you get a sense of living as a Maltese local, but yet close enough that it is only a 10 minute bus ride into Valetta, St Julians or Paceville.

Additionally you will find that the neighbours are relaxed and you feel welcome in the area generally.

Malta is a lovely warm and safe place to vist and i cannot recommend it highly enough.

Even though I can't compare this experience to other airbnb travel because it was my first time i would say overall the standard seems to have been set really high and am planning to use airbnb again in October when i visit Lithuania.
