What makes this sleek apartment special is the unbeatable location. It's only a short walk from Milan's iconic Duomo – reachable in about five minutes door-to-door – and off a busy main road with plenty of transport links. This locale may not be as charming as other neighbourhoods, but you'll find many bars and restaurants practically on your doorstep, so it's a great option for those wanting to be smack-dab in the centre of the action. Come home after an adventure-filled day and make yourself comfortable. Share a bottle of Italian wine around the dining table (you can even see the top of the Duomo out the window), then sprawl out on the sofa for a Netflix movie night. The design veers towards minimal and modern, but we didn't mind as the rooms are nicely sized and filled with light – plus the second bedroom even has a small balcony. Both bathrooms are super smart – one comes with a luxurious rainfall shower – but the compact kitchenette is definitely on the smaller side. If that doesn't bother you, though, you've got a solid option on your hands.
