We report measurements of the transport and the magnetic properties of high-quality, sub-millimeter-sized MgB2 single crystals with clear hexagonal-plate shapes. The low-field magnetization and the magnetic hysteresis curves show the vortex pinning of these crystals to be very weak. The Debye temperature of $\Theta_{D}\sim 1100$ K, obtained from the zero-field resistance curve, suggests that the normal-state transport properties are dominated by electron-phonon interactions. The resistivity ratio between 40 K and 300 K was about 5, and the upper critical field anisotropy ratio was 3 $\pm$ 0.2 at temperatures around 32 K.
