Michael is one of the best hosts I have met to date. He was extremely helpful in pointing out places within the neighborhood where to get a good meal for a decent price, as well as with suggesting things to do in Malta in the period we visited. He even bought us some food to snack on after we arrived from our journey.
We really felt at home in Michael's apartment. The pictures are spot-on, he has even made some improvements since they were taken. There's a toaster, water heater, induction stove, microwave oven, fridge, cable TV, fan, and even a clothes iron, complete with a mini ironing table. We did not lack anything at all.
Most of all, the apartment was clean and despite the August heat and humidity we kept cool with the fan that was in the apartment.
The apartment is very near the main street of Valletta, and Michael provided us with step-by-step directions to him from the airport. Since we did not follow those directions precisely and subsequently got lost, he was patient and gave us another easier landmark where to meet.
In all, we are very grateful to Michael for his hospitality and wish him all the best.
