We have just returned from a week staying in Sonette's wonderful apartment and we would recommend it to everyone! The apartment is in a perfect location for exploring Malta, and has an amazing view of St Paul's Bay from the front (which is such a delight to wake up to every morning). St Paul's Bay itself is beautiful, and had a few different spots where you could swim in the crystal clear water. There are also a few restaurants and bars (including an amazing vegan restaurant which served such delicious food with views across the bay and beyond). If you want to venture further, you can get the bus to Bugibba (5-10 minutes, two euros) where there is more of a lively vibe with loads of bars and restaurants and a great beach (St Paul's Bay is a little quieter and more peaceful). Sonette's apartment is also perfectly located for exploring Gozo, Comino, and Golden Bay (Sonette even pointed out a historic walk along the roman road which takes you straight to Golden Bay, or you can get a 5-10 minute bus, two euros). We also got the bus to Valetta which was incredibly straightforward (40 minutes, two euros). Sonette's apartment is beautifully decorated with fantastic pieces of artwork, it is full of colour and has a lovely enclosed patio at the back which we were able to use. The patio has even more artwork, as well as a huge table which is perfect for dining outside, or having a drink and playing cards in the evening. The bedroom is very light and airy with an air con to help with the summer heat (we visited in August during a heat wave, but slept perfectly with the air con on)! The bedroom also had a huge television. Sonette's kitchen had all the appliances you would need if you wanted to make yourself lunch, or to cook meals rather than go out for dinner. Sonette was a fabulous host. Even though we only met her on the first day (as she was on holiday for the rest of the week), she was incredibly hospitable and made us feel very welcome in her home. She was there to greet us on the day we arrived and gave us a full list of recommendations for Malta. She could not have been kinder to us and we felt privileged to be able to stay in her apartment.
