The host cancelled the booking 2 days before the arrival date.

Maria and her family were are all really nice, caring people who took their hosting seriously and really helped make my trip perfect! Maria was extremely friendly and talkative and the entire family took me in as one of them and helped me out with everything I needed help with. Maria took time one day to drive me and walk me around the area in Malta where my Dad grew up, which I couldn't have found on my own, it was really nice to see this and it was very kind of them to do this for me. They made me feel at home in Malta with their kindness, hospitality, friendliness and delicious food! The bedroom is very big with a big balcony where you can sit out and enjoy the sun, it is very well equipped with a fan, electric sockets, a bin, a desk, towel, cupboard and closet spaces, better than the average hotel room. The in which the house is situated has a few convenience shops, pharmacies, it's close to the university and hospital, however if you are going on a tourist visit as I was, it isn't next door to anything super interesting (as far as I realised) and you will probably need to get the bus to go places, however because of it's central location on the island these bus journeys should rarely be that long (as long as the bus arrives and is on time). I could sense a friendly atmosphere in this mainly residential neighbourhood however with people seeming to know each and often chatting. Overall, it was a really amazing stay and was a lot better than what I expected! Honestly, if you want to have a good stay in Malta and feel at home in a family, Maria's family homestay is a great option for you! Thanks a lot to her, her family, her cat and her dogs for making this trip what it was for me!
