Generally, the house was clean to a basic standard, as you would keep your own home from day to day, but some of the deeper clean areas would benefit from more regular attention. Jane said she's thinking about some home improvements next year. We encouraged this as some simple changes could really elevate the experience. For example, really playing into the history of the house and styling the interior decor of each room to complement the medieval dining room (there are a lot of different styles of furniture, ornaments and paintings). The single beds in the twin room were quite springy and would benefit from new mattresses. There is a good amount of information located on the walls where you'd need it. These could be presented in a more polished, permanent way eg. on printed little plaques. Overall, nothing bad, more personal preference than anything else.

A charming house in beautiful Isla/Senglea. A home away from home, you feel like a real local in the heart of quiet, peaceful suburbia. A short walk from the marina with bars, restaurants and the ferry to Valetta, a few shops and Isla's main bus stop. Fantastic views from the 2-level roof terrace which gets sun all day and has its own kitchen, shower and toilet. Modern bathroom, very spacious rooms. The breakfast basket was a nice touch to get you going. Jane was extremely friendly and helpful before, during and after our stay. She came to visit us personally to hear our feedback and discuss what we liked and what we perhaps thought could be better, taking a real interest in our opinions and in the experience of her guests. There wasn't anything we didn't like, and would definitely consider staying here again.

It was a little chilly since it's unheated but doable.

The old house is beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed. It's possible it was built in the 12th C as that is when the church next to it was built. The kitchen is possibly the best stocked kitchen we've ever rented - we've rented a lot of houses over the years. Plenty of room to spread out - english speaking tv channels as part of the cable package - little stores with everything we needed nearby. Jane was very responsive to any request we asked for.

As a typical old-style residential area, you need to take into account all the inconveniences you will face. Noicy area,during the mornings, so you can't sleep with the windows open. Impossible to find a slot for parking, even Jane says "free parking available", yes, buy try to find a spot when you come back from the beach or dinner. According to her, it's possible to park in front of the house on her personal parking lot, but it's always occupied by other neighbors. If you rent a car, you have a problem, but if you don't rent it, you will be totally dependent on Bolt or Uber. We expected the building to be medieval when we rented a medieval house, but not the other facilities/amenities. In July the weather is really hot, 25C or 77F at night, it's really difficult to sleep with the windows closed. The medieval fans, in 2 rooms, are 3 meters high, and the tower fans are older than my grandfather, so they are really noisy and are not enough. We had to sleep with both ceiling and tower fans running at the same time. Lets focus on the cleaning aspect. We haven't been as lucky as the other guests. Upon arrival, we noticed hair on the floor everywhere, and it worsened the following morning due to the daylight. I sent a message to Jane, asking for a cleaning lady, and she said, she would come to sweep it herself, what I asked not to do so, as it was clear that she is doing the cleaning herself, what I confirmed on my checkout.When we were about to have breakfast, there were 2 cream cheese in the freeze that were rotten, and I when I sent her a message saying so, she didn't even reply back. Although the kitchen ware was well-stowed, there was still a lack of cleaning. I hope that after this review, she will put more effort into cleaning.

Senglea is a great location with many restaurants in the port that are within a 5-minute walk. This could be a better option, if more focus have been put on the details. Jane was a great host until we arrived, but as soon as when started flagging some issues, her attitude totally changed. It's easy to be a great host when things run smooth, but the difference between a good one and a bad one, is how you respond when things don't run smooth.I always put a lot of effort in my reviews, because I try to help the guests that are coming after me. I normally book based on the reviews, that is why a try to keep honest. 90% of my reviews are positive, but it this case, I can't.

Leaving!

We loved the town house in Senglea. It was a large, beautiful Maltese house of character. The location could not have been better, for newcomers to Malta, or for us. As visitors who are Maltese born, or with decades of visits to the islands, we were perfectly positioned in this urban village to revisit every corner of this immensely fascinating, friendly country. Whether by taxi, bus, ferry, or dhaisa, there was an extensive choice of transportation nearby. We also found ourselves steps away from shops that met all our needs. The fruit and vegetable seller was outside the door every morning at 9am (except for Sunday) and on Sundays we listened to all the near and faraway church bells ringing (not too early!). Just around the corner and down some stairs were breathtaking views and an endless choice of cafes and restaurants. The views from the house and the front door alone were enough to keep any visitor fascinated! We really enjoyed meeting our host. She couldn't have replied faster to any contact we made, and was friendly and very helpful. Locals were also very welcoming, keen to talk about Senglea and just chat as we met in the street. The house was so well supplied with all our needs, comfortable and spotless. Many evenings we had dinner on the roof terrace, entertaining family and friends. We stayed for a month, and would have loved to stay longer.

This is a beautiful property and the host is very helpful and responsive. We loved the location, with easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We shared the home among family and found it spacious and comfortable.
