I strayed on for the weekend after a week working in Malta. Gerald's house was the perfect place to chill out and visit the sites in Valletta and Mdina . It is five minutes from the bus stop and less than 10 mins up to the capital . There are lots of good cheap restaurants down by the harbour including a great take a way pizza . Gerald was a perfect host - he had to go away for the weekend - but met me the evening before to collect keys and work out how things worked and left a very useful guide book and tips . He has done a great job renovating the house - it's honey coloured stone walls give it real character and make it very cosy . I would recommend staying with Gerald if you want to get away from the main tourist area - experience a part of Malta where the locals live and be close to Valletta . The house is very clean and comfortable with wifi . I loved sitting In the courtyard at night reading a book with a glass of wine .
