I really enjoyed my stay with Maria. Since I am in Malta for half a year, I will also spend the rest of the time with her. Maria is a lovely and helpful person, she picked me up from the airport in the evening and regularly takes me grocery shopping in her car. If you need help, she is there immediately. The flat is large and spacious and has everything you need. Her son and her dog also live with her. The dog can be a bit noisy sometimes, but once it gets used to you, it can be very sweet. There are a total of 3 rooms in the flat for rent. So it can happen that many people are there at the same time. Which is nice if you are looking for company. Maria also always has time for a quick chat. From Gzira you can get to Valletta quickly (by bus about 10 minutes when there is not much traffic). It is also not far from the airport.
Enjoy your stay with Maria, it will be worth it :)
