I had a lovely time at Joe's apartment. Xlendi in November is a quiet and very pleasant village, the bay is largely empty (but still warm enough for a refreshing dip in the water), and the excellent bus service runs to Valletta/Rabat every 45 minutes or so.

Oh, but the view! This place really does have a stunning view, I don't think you could ever tire of it.

And Joe is a very friendly, helpful and generous host. He was kind enough to give me a lift to and from the ferry terminal in Mgarr, for which I'm very grateful, and made sure that I had everything I needed in the apartment.

Hopefully, sooner or later, I'll head back to Gozo - and if I do, I'd be more than happy to rent this place again. And I'd certainly recommend it.
