What a fantastic experience. The apartment is very clean, air conditioner works great, and the location cannot be beat! You are very central and so close to the bus stops. An awesome espresso shop right around the corner as well, where I went almost every morning. And then back again at night to the connected gelato shop where I was given a very fun lesson on how to say pistachio the “correct” way. There is an terrific rock beach just down that street and a small sandy beach in the opposite direction just as near. I needed some vitamins and there was actually a natural shop just down the street where the owner Gwen was a delight and she has great stuff. There is also a little shop a couple steps away if you need some odds and ends (water, fruit, candy bar). I traveled alone and the flat was absolutely perfect, and would definitely be great for a couple too.
So while the flat and location are fantastic, Luca is what truly made my experience outstanding. I came to Malta with no real plan and he was so gracious to me, giving me suggestions, tips, and just genuinely cared that I had the best time possible. He also arranged a car for me both from the airport when I arrived and back when I left (which was very early) for probably a bit less than getting cab on my own would have been (but not sure I could have figured it out at 4:30AM). My time in Malta would have been much different if not for Luca being the absolute best host. I am a broken record in saying this, but am very thankful for his time and guidance. He is a class act all the way.
I will definitely stay at Luca’s flat when I return next to Malta. No doubt. I cannot recommend this place enough. A+!!!
