The stay at the Boathouse was great. Val was extremely helpful throughout our trip. She met us upon arrival and gave us a great orientation to the apartment and the local area. She even provided us with some snacks and beverages to get us started. The apartment has a very, scenic view of the bay. Although it is by a well-traveled road, at night, there was very little traffic and we slept soundly. The decor is very modern and has everything you need for either a short-term or long-term stay. It's also easy to catch buses to Valletta or the airport: both are about 30 minutes away. What I liked best was that Birzebbugga is away from the throngs of tourists yet it is easy to get to Malta's major attractions. Finally, Val made sure that we got to our flight on time leaving Malta by giving us a lift to the airport.
