Corso Cotoner is a spectacular stay. Not only do Stephen and Brian have unbelievable taste—not surprising, given their work in the fashion industry throughout Malta and Europe—but they have incorporated charming local touches that range from island guides to ferry schedules. I have stayed in few homes that so brilliantly capture their surroundings while adding something completely individual and unique. I was also very surprised and pleased that there are a dishwasher and washing machine in the apartment, not to mention so many really thoughtful extras: a bathroom scale, an immersion blender, tons of herbs and spices... even a rolling pin, lemon squeezer... The couriers and mailmen who deliver to the address are super friendly, it’s easy to order groceries to the address from local organic farms, and so many amazing sights (Grand Harbour, Fort St Angelo, historic Birggu architecture, Tarxien Temples) are within walking distance. Oh, and Brian and Stephen themselves are wonderful hosts and very interesting people. I found myself fairly often thinking that I would be happy to stay here forever.
