Irish Coffee Milan, Lombardy

Holiday Rental Description

Just on the border of Quadrilatero della Moda, less than 10 minutes on foot to the Duomo, yet still on a quiet street, the location of this apartment is hard to beat. The level of service is akin to a hotel – the manager’s office is just below and they are happy to help with restaurant reservations and luggage storage, among other general assistance. The apartment itself is understated with lots of earth tones and muted colours, though 60s-chic light fittings and vibrant wall art add a splash of fun and a curated collection of knick-knacks make it feel lived in. The big breakfasting table by the kitchen was made for plotting the day’s adventures over a strong Italian coffee. You’re in the heart of Milan after all.

Home truths:
*The entrance to the bathroom is hidden behind a kitchen cabinet - there's nothing wrong with it but it can be a bit disorientating
*It sometimes feels a bit like a hotel suite
*Guests 3 and 4 will be on a sofa bed in the living room, which has a very firm mattress
