Dear Josette, thank you for your great host, we appreciate the time we have spend in Malta,
We recommend this appartment, it's fully equipped, has great location and absolutely kind and helpful host. Marsaskala is lovely small village with it's own seafront street, small shops and restaurants. (Especially nice bakery near the bus station. ) we have stayed in Malta for 2 weeks and had seen many cities and villages, and can definitely say that Marsaskala was right choice for us and we recommend it for tourists with small kids (no stairs, a lot of shops). The location is ok, 20 min to 3cities, and 30min to Valetta by bus. We advice to go first to 3 cities and by ferry to visit Valetta. Additionally we travel by taxi ecabs, it's good to install application ecabs in advance. For tourist who love trekking please pay attention to very nice St Thomas bay in walking distance close to Marsaskala, and nice walk from Maraskala ( start from inspire) to Marsaxlokk on Sunday
