My wife and I have stayed in numerous VRBO accommodations in the past decade or so. The host, Ray, and his wife, Maria, are simply the best hosts we have ever experienced. They helped us experience the culture of Malta.
Since we did not rent a car, Ray arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport. The driver, Frank Borg, met us and took us to the accommodations. He also agreed to pick us up for our return flight at 0400 on Sunday morning. The driver was dependable and very reasonably priced.
Back to Ray. He drove us to the grocery store after our arrival and picked us up after we had finished our shopping. Later, he advised us on places to visit and things to do. He truly was dedicated to us having a wonderful experience in Malta. After we scheduled a hop-on-hop-off bus. Ray drove us to the pickup point. I asked him later if I could accompany him to the gas station and fill his car for him. He politely refused my offer and said that it was not necessary. He is a moral, caring man who goes above and beyond what is expected of a host.
The accommodation was excellent, clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Having access to a pool was a benefit for us.
There are numerous restaurants in the Mellieha area within a reasonable walking distance, although it is rather hilly.
If we return to Malta, we certainly will stay here, thanks to Ray and Maria.
