  : The kitchen was very well equipped, and the welcome booklet was very helpful. They supplied a few basic food items which was also super useful. There was plenty of space for 6 people, the rooms were large, and it was close to public transport stops which made getting around Malta easy. It was also a lovely old building in a beautiful part of the island. Communication with the host was excellent too and he was happy to answer any questions we had.
  : Unfortunately we had a few issues as well. The family bathroom shower is completely unusable as a shower - theres no shower curtain and it faces outwards into the bathroom, so when you shower, water goes all over the floor. Both showers also leaked, as did one of the toilets.The main double bed was incredibly lumpy and you could feel springs digging you in the back. This was also the case with 1 out of the 4 single beds, making it rather uncomfortable to sleep in.Also, the wifi was very poor and dropped out frequently.

  : The location is perfect for looking around Rabat and Mdina. We had a car so this made it easy to get around the island. The kitchen was pretty well appointed, the building itself is around 180 years old (I think or at least that's what I think the plaque out the front of the building mentioned) and is a street accessible by foot only, so it is pretty quite (except for the church bells!). Having 3 bedrooms and 2 showers and 3 toilets was great as there was 2 adults and our teenage kids.
  : Parking can be a challenge, i.e there is no parking on site, you need to go hunting around the area for a parking spot, which may be a challenge in peak season.

  : Beautiful stone house and wonderful location. The rooftop allowed access to midwinter sunshine.
  : The house was damp, especially the bedrooms. The bedding therefore smelled and the bed itself was very uncomfortable.The shower leaked.

  : We had an amazing stay here. The house is in a beautiful old building, in a superb Rabat location. There is a shaded patio and a sunny roof terrace with sun loungers, so it was a perfect place to sit and relax in the sun during siesta. We were here mid-April, so the winds were still a bit cold.The kitchen has everything you need and the living room is very cosy. The bedrooms are big with beautiful windows and stylish furniture. There are two bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a bath tub, however on a less sunny day, the water was not too warm. Also, if you like a shower in the morning, the water may still be a little fresh after night.Also, there are little heaters in the bedrooms if the weather is cold, we used them to warm up the bedrooms before sleep.The host made us feel welcome and was very responsive and helpful. Thank you Rene!
  : Well, it's hard to find something that the host could improve.Perhaps the hair dryer could be replaced with a better, more powerful one? I was trying to dry my hair one day, and it was taking ages.

  : Absolutely everything. Location was perfect, close to main attractions, walking distance to Medina Silent city, very close to Catacombs and St. Pauls church. The property is a perfect place for bigger group of people, separate rooms, 2 bathrooms + 1 separate toilet, big kitchen and the roof terrace make it the perfect holiday destination. Everything was tidy and freshly cleaned. The complimentary food package was super helpful after arriving late at night with all stores already closed.
  : The only thing we didnt like about the property (and this is NOT the owners fault) is that the house its quite warm inside as weather in Malta is very hot. We used the fans all the time, day and night to be able to function and sleep there (but we are not used to temperatures like that, especially at night)

  : Lovely old townhouse in the middle of Old Rabat. Restaurants, shops and Mdina all at walking distance. Nice touch: you'll find the fridge filled with some basics on arrival.
  : Parking your car is a challenge. It is free everywhere, but finding a space will take you time driving around in circles around and in Rabat.The bathtub definitely needs a shower screen to prevent the bathroom from flooding while showering ;-)No soap/ shampoo provided in the bathroom, so bring your own.

  : AMAZING AREA. Rabat is beautiful and the house is located on a wonderful old street. The house itself has amazing character. You can hear beautiful church bells ring. It's a short walk to many wonderful restaurants, cafe's, convenience stores and the silent city of Mdina. You'll have to walk to find car parking but the area is so lovely, it's not a hardship.
  : One (not full) toilet roll in each bathroom was supplied for a 15 night stay for 6 people. It has a full kitchen and there was no staples provided like salt, pepper, olive oil, foil, cling wrap etc. We were given a carton of UHT milk, a small cheese, sliced meat and supermarket style bread. Fresh milk, crusty fresh Maltese bread and more staples would have been far preferable. The laundry had a washing machine but no washing powder at all. Even the garbage bags were extremely limited in number. The bathrooms were not cleaned properly, when I asked that they be cleaned half way through, they were not done until I complained. There were no bathroom cleaning supplies given, so we couldn't do it ourselves. Only one shower had a screen. The main bathroom needs a shower curtain.
