    The architecture of the house was amazing and the location was perfect: in a quiet area, walking distance to visit the three cities and close to the boat to Valetta.

    There were a few cats nearby, they meowed loudly at night, but it's not the owner's fault, they can't do anything about it. First when we entered, was a bit musty smell, but as we opened the windows, it was ok, and the following days was ok as well.

    Great location. Emily, the owner was very nice and helpful and flexible. She answered always very quickly. She recommended very good places. Thanks her again for everything! The apartment is very nice, has a special atmosphere, well-equipped. The house is old, but renovated, thick walls, a bit cold, but there was air-condition, we were able to heat the room for night, that was very good. The area is very peacful and nice.

    Perfect location, spacious place.

    There is nothing we disliked, yet some things you need to consider: 1)The humidity in the apartment is very high, this might be normal for the region though. Turning on the A/C in the bedrooms fixed this issue partially. 2)Bathroom might be a bit cold in the winter period (e.g March/April), and dries out really slow. Leaving the window open during the day fixes the issue , it’s just that it gets a bit cold (~17 degrees).

    This place is all about location. It has great quick access to the ferry boats to Valletta and you could very easily hop on and off the capital city. Parking spaces are available on the streets as well, so it’s really easy to park your (rental) car. Wi-Fi is really fast. Connection is stable. The host is very friendly and easy going. The kitchen is equipped well enough to cover vacation needs. Towels and duvets are available. Cafe Rouge is 3-4 mins away and is an excellent choice for a quick snack. One of the few restaurant open early in the morning on Sundays.

    Parking and one way streets made driving difficult. But that is beyond Amelia's control. The toaster didn't work and we were toast for breakfast people.

    The ambiance of the old section of Cospicua. The streets were too narrow for anything but walking up/down the stairs. The house was 500 years old and wisely the owners did not cover up the original stone structure. We liked walking to local restaurants and points of interest. We loved the old coffee "pot". One cup at a time we had great coffee.

    We liked everything!

    The thing we liked most was the host’s attitude and love for her guests, we definitely caused some inconvinieinces for her, but Amelia always replied so fast and ready for the rescue🤣 She is such a sweetheart, definitely made our stay so much better. The house itself is kind of an old but nice style of a Malta “cave” house, it has AC in the 2 bathrooms, 2 restrooms, one with bathtub and a shower which has warm water generator. I definitely recommend staying here for everyone, if you wanna have the sweetest host in Malta🥰

    The house is a bit dark and that brings a smell of moist. Be aware that the bells of the nearby churches star playing very early and are easily heard inside the house as also ate the children in the school and of course the pigeons.

    The house is very well located giving us the right feeling of living as a local. Cospicua is a beautiful city and staying at this house was the right choice.

    Stunning 500 year old property in Cospicua, one of the Three Cities. Host was incredibly welcoming & helpful. The house is well equipped, spotlessly clean & has so much character. What an experience to stay here! Easy walking distance to Birgu/Vittoriosa & Senglea, & regular ferries to Valletta. Lots of steps but this is usual for this area. You can hear the church bells quite often so you might want ear plugs but it wasn't an issue for us. Definitely recommend this property.

    Perfect location in the Three Cities, few minutes walk from the ferry that takes you in 7 minutes to Valetta. Nice coffee and restaurant within walking distance. More restaurants on the dock. The apartment is very clean and spacious. The host lady was very nice and polite. Would love to return.

    In these old houses, there are issues with humidity and humidity mixed with cold air from the aircon. Just a small price for the experience of enjoying the living history.

    Nice flat in a 500 years old house in pedestrian street. Very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Close to bus stops and grocwry stores. And also close to nice walks in the 3 cities.

    The house is 500 years old. Charming, but with the inevitable occasional musty smell. A small thing, really.

    Location is simply perfect. Quick walk to the inexpensive ferry to Valetta. The apartment is clean and well equipped (kitchen items, etc.)

    Only comments were beyond anyone’s control: it was unusually cold when we were there and we needed a space heater (that our hostess promptly refilled when we told her it was empty); a storm dropped over 80mm of rain in one day and some of it seeped under the front door. Easily solved with clothes stuffed under the front door.

    Wonderful hostess. Very helpful. location was a little difficult to find but an excellent location for day trips.

    Unfortunately has to do with Malta in general and not with Amelia's house. Malta has a very humid climate and visiting the island during winter time is a bit of a problem for people they have respiration problems. And of course staying at a historic and lovely house made of stones with huge walls will not help you 😉
