The Cock's Crow Milan, Lombardy

Holiday Rental Description

You’ll be surrounded by chic shopping streets in the middle of Brera, just two minutes down the street from the beautiful art gallery Pinacoteca di Brera. You can easily walk to the Duomo di Milano, just fourteen minutes away, or take the twelve-minute saunter to sprawling Parco Sempione. Back at home, you’ll be neatly tucked under the eaves, with characterful exposed wooden beams and bright skylights. The open-plan living area makes the most of the small space, and it’s filled to the brim with charm – the wood kitchen, ornamental fireplace and pops of red that adorn the walls and furniture. The playful library wallpaper and armchair make a good nook for reading, while the bedroom is especially inviting after a long day of exploring on your feet. Sink into the comfortable sheets, and sleep well to recharge for tomorrow.

Home truths:
*The air conditioning is uniform across the building, so you won't have direct control over it
*Unfortunately the fireplace is ornamental
*The apartment is under the eaves, so the ceiling slopes and at times it gets quite low
*At full occupancy, two guests will be on a sofa bed in the living room – enquire in advance about additional linen charges
*The lift only goes up to the fourth floor, so you'll have to climb the last flight of stairs
*Ask your host about paid parking lots nearby
*It's a five-minute walk to the green line metro stop Lanza, while tram 12 and 14 are also just five minutes away
