Warning! It was described as 4 bedrooms but one was the living room. App changed when we complained

Incorrect description of property & host denied the problem saying living room was a bedroom when it was obviously open living space leading to other rooms. Do not stay there. Ultimate insult - they changed the description to 3 bedrooms when I complained. Going to report to Consumer Affairs.

The Perfect Place to Stay in Malta.

Everything was even better than I expected. My multi-generational family (2 couples and a teenager) stayed at this amazing home for a week. The original stone features, including the arches, are on the first floor and the renovations on the second and third floors are first rate. Everything was clean and neat, which is not always the case. There is a fully equipped kitchen as well as a washing machine on the upper floor, which makes longer visits a lot less stressful. The host was very helpful and provided us with information about the house and the area. He was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions. In fact, there were even goodies in the fridge upon our arrival! Birgu turned out to be far more bustling than I expected, since March is not really tourist season. The Old World charm remains, but there are many shops and excellent restaurants within walking distance.

Beautiful Property in a great location

The hosts from day one were so good with communication and helped with all our requests. The property itself is in the most amazing location and is walking distance to restaurants, museum's and ferry to Valletta. Inside it is historical yet modern but be prepared to walk up and down the stairs within. We loved our time in Birgu and would stay here again.

Best in Birgu

This home was an interesting mixture of old and new. Well located near good restaurants and the ferry to Valletta. The Malta war museum is close by and is a must see. Our host, Consiglio was quick to respond to any of our needs. Just be prepared for climbing, a narrow, spiral staircase to access the upper floors.
