Residence Rouge is a great little place in a fantastic location. Josef is a great host and very easy to talk to and eager to help when he can. He takes the extra effort to provide numerous publication for exploring the Maltese Islands. It is quite easy to get to the apartment from the airport by use of the bus system. I highly recommend using the sightseeing daily sightseeing bus vs using the bus system. There is a double price system for the bus system (tourist pay almost double) that Lonely Planet does not tell you about. Also, the passes are only good on Malta Island, you have to buy additional tickets when visiting Gozo.
