Second time staying in Birgu at Matthew's place. We enjoyed it as much as the first. Nice restaurants on the waterfront. Handy 5 minute walk to the ferry connection to Valetta (nice bar on way called But Gi to catch morning coffee and a Maltese pea pie!). Friendly hosts with nice touches such as, advice re ferry and lift, starter supplies such as water, milk, bread, ham etc -this made it an easy arrival after a long journey.
