Perched along the Naviglio Grande, this apartment offers a comfortable base for those who want to drop their bags and get out exploring. Location-wise, you're a five-minute walk from the Tortona district area – home of the Milan Fashion Week, while the Duomo and the city centre are just a short tram ride away. The apartment itself is housed in a typical Milan-style building, and although the interiors aren't the most inspiring, you'll soon feel right at home here – plus both bedrooms offer canal views for a spring in your step, come morning.
