This house is well located, close to bus stop and ferry to Valletta. There are convenience stores close by, as well as a number of restaurants. The house was beautiful, and the terrace is wonderful. We stayed at the house during a cool week and a half (unfortunately) and the house was cold. There is no real heating for the entire house - a wall heater/air-conditioner in the master bedroom, which you must pay for to use after the complimentary hydro that is supplied. The heater keeps the room warm, but as soon as you step out of the room, the rest of the house is cold. A plug in heater was supplied for the second bedroom free-of-charge, and it heated the room moderately - as the wind whistles right around the glass in the maltese balcony into the room, creating a stiff breeze in the room if the weather is bad. (It is also very noisy with the windows rattling if it is windy, which is a problem if you are trying to sleep.) You cannot leave the heater on during the night as it lights up the room as if you had the ceiling light on. A propane heater was provided to help heat the kitchen and living room area, but it really did not get comfortable because the design of the house makes it very hard to heat. The temperature we were experiencing during our stay was between 12 - 16C during the day, and around 9C during the night. If you are sensitive to the cold and are going to Malta in the winter months, the heating challenges of this house may be something to consider.
We found our stay uncomfortable due to the cold and damp of the house. The house is beautiful and in a great location, with a great host. We were just unlucky in the weather we experienced during our stay.
