What a pleasant stay we had booking with Michael & Kenneth for “Designer Cospicua Old Town Suite B”! We found the location of the apartment perfect and we arrived early morning and it was absolutely no problem for check-in and we were greeted in an efficient manner.

Michael who is Kenneth’s brother had offered to arrange airport transfers but we had hired our own car from the airport.

All your necessities surround the apartment within a few hundred meters walk, like a cute little grocer, mini market and chemist. These shops have been here for decades and help present a really charming villagescenario. Whilst within a 5-minute walk down a grand staircase leads you to the waterfront and then it is the most pleasant walk along the water into Birguharbor with amazing views.

We picked the location for the history but it is still so easy to travel to places like Valletta and the Sliema area. We were so verypleased that we did not book anything in Sliema as it was packed with tourists and had somewhat lost its charm.

Kenneth lives in the top floor apartment and there seems to be only 3 apartments in the block. Kenneth told us that this was a townhouse that had not been lived in for decades and he converted. The staircase and main entrance hall were beautiful too with marble floors and the old stone staircase. We really loved the direct elevator into the apartment that is secured by a special key.

The interior space is compact but designed so well and perfect for a couple. I would guess it is around 80-90 sq.m so at least twice the area of a good hotel room with full kitchen and bathroom.

Furnished with a retro feel it was totally cool and we loved the decorative items around the place. It felt like someone’s home and not a holiday flat so it had a special edge. We loved the mustard yellow sofa andloved the fabric for the headboard and cushions in the bedroom.

The flat was very comfortable throughout and the AC worked very well. We did not cook in the kitchen but appreciated it for making breakfast and coffee. Kenneth was kind enough to provide some basics.

The bed was good and so were the pillows and linens. Kenneth was really on hand to assist us and he helped us make a nice booking for a special lunch at a place called Da Pippo in Valletta, which was great. We went across with the water taxi so we did not have to worry about parking the car.

We really wanted to look at the flat upstairs as Kenneth explained it was in a totally different style but was booked when we were there.

This place is value for money and quality all the way, highly recommended and loved the area.
