Enchanting flat x 3 with terrace _ Duomo & Fashion Design District

This is a sixth-floor flat (and yes, with an elevator) in a beautiful walled-in mansion-like building with a formidable front gate and a furniture design business on the ground floor. It is exactly as photographed, and the terrace is fantastic with plants all around. To be honest, I found it charming with lots of character, while my partner thought it quirky and weird. I found it cozy, colorful, and a fun boho style, while my partner found it busy with tchotchkes and the romantic daybed to be useful. It seems to have been originally planned as a studio, with the back room (now the bedroom) an office lined with gorgeous wooden built-in shelves and cabinets, the spacious middle room the bedroom with its generously sized adjacent closet (now the living room), and the typically sized bathroom and galley kitchen off to the left of the entrance door. The building is obviously older, mid-1800s we were told, meaning the layout of the flat isn't at all traditional, but it's freshly painted, impeccably clean, well-thought-out for guests, and with generous amenities like the clothes washer with laundry soap, drying racks, shampoo and body soap in the bathroom, plenty of towels, and lots of coffee pods for the Nescafe machine. Close communication with our host, Francesca, is critical in order to be met outside the gates upon arrival. The location is good, walkable to Teatro della Scala (you must visit this storied theatre or attend an opera if possible), and Milan's duomo.

This place was in a great location! Only a few minute walk from the Duomo and very close to the metro which we were able to use to get around. Francesca was a lovely host and was available if we needed anything. The weather was beautiful while we were there and we made use of the balcony a few times. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Great location. Very clean. Francesca was very responsive.

Checks all the boxes. Great location, clean, we-equipped

What a fantastic little apartment. Close to everything, delightfully charming and very well appointed. Would gladly return!
