We are at the preliminary stage of investigating a long term stay in a self-catering apartment on Malta during January - April, the major idea being to get away from Canada's cold winters. Winter is supposed to be the rainy season in Malta and we are hoping for sunshine. We want a location with good public transportation to shopping (groceries, restaurants) and other parts of the island and Gozo, as well as Internet access (ideally in the apartment).

Can anyone who has visited Malta during this period offer advice on winter weather and which locations may be most suited to our needs? Many thanks for all comments.
