This apartment is authentically Michael and his brother, Kenneth’s, (investment) property (and not the outsourced commercial enterprise that has unfortunately crept into Airbnb offerings) and it shows with the hands-on care they have taken in providing guests with a stylish, comfortable, sparkling clean and quiet environment. Bed comfortable, water pressure great, heating effective, kitchen utensils new and fulsome, double glazed windows/balcony doors (albeit the area is a quiet residential place and you do not get traffic - literally an odd car or two from locals), quality Manchester, a proper hairdryer and thoughtful touches throughout.
The location in the Three Cities is authentic Maltese living, so if you want to be outside of the gritty, noisy tourist hubs, this is a great option. There are many buses servicing the area taking you to all parts of the country (eg: it will take you an hour by bus to travel to Sliema) and a 5 minute ferry ride to Valletta, if you don’t feel like the bus. There are small convenience stores close by and also a really good supermarket in Paola (a 25 minute trip via bus & walking). The apartment is on the first floor and you’ll ascend by lift directly into the apartment.
Kenneth lives above in a seperate apartment and is a responsive, caring co-host. The brothers are easy to communicate with and are professional yet warm.
I will always remember my time in Malta with fondness and in large part, for the serenity and comfort this apartment afforded me.
